"A timeline is a picture of events that happened in history, and the purpose of this assignment is to use the timeline to help you understand the connections between the developments in the arts in a chronological and historical relationship to one another. For example, did the Baroque happen at the same time in art history, music, and theatre? Are there common characteristics that define the Baroque across all three areas? Did the Baroque happen at the same time through western culture, or did it occur at different times in Italy, Spain, and Great Britain?"
This guide will introduce you to the resources you will need to complete your timeline. In addition, it will provide a basis for you to begin your research for the comparative analysis essays.
