Shop Window Displays

Have you ever wondered HOW and WHY shop windows are arranged in the manner that they are? Now that you have completed your AP Art History course this year, perhaps you have an answer to this question. Perhaps now you will look at things like shop windows in the future and question why they are organized the way they are. Hopefully our few months together have helped you look at the world through a new lens.

Bonus Opportunity Due June 1, 2011
Take a picture of two to four shop windows and analyze their arrangement. Look at the product being sold and how it is being conveyed. Look at colors, arrangement, allusions, etc. Are the stores appealing to emotions, intellect, or both? BONUS = up to 10 points each.
