Time TravelAssume you have been given the ability to travel back in time, and you are about to set off on a trip to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The purpose of your trip is to visit artists in their studios and view firsthand the creation of some of their paintings and sculpture.In your time travels, you will collect information on five different styles of nineteenth- and twentieth-century art, as represented by one artist from each style. Before you set out, decide which specific styles you would like to explore.Select one style from each of the five categories listed below:Late Nineteenth Century: Impressionism or Post ImpressionismEarly Twentieth Century: Fauvism, Expressionism, or FuturismCubism: Analytic or SyntheticPost-World War I Art: Dada or SurrealismPost-World War II Art: Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, or Pop ArtFor each of your five selected styles, identify one artist who represents that style whose studio you will explore in your time travels. In your visits to each artist’s studio, plan to identify one work of art that best exemplifies the artist’s style.When you return from your time travels, prepare a report that includes the following information for each of your five representative works of art:A photograph of the objectIdentifying information:Name of the artistTitle of the workDate of the workMedium/materials used to create the workIdentify the style of the work of art. Then, write a paragraph of 4-6 sentences that:Describes the visual characteristics that makes the object representative of its stylePlaces the work within its social and historical context and explains why it is culturally significantFinally, in a well-developed paragraph of 6-8 sentences, summarize what you have learned from your “time travels,” highlighting key similarities and distinctions between the artists you visited and their representative works of art.Your report should conclude with an explanation about which style you find most interesting and why.Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information provided as appropriate

Competency In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies: Leverage components and features of common operating systems to meet organizational needs Recommend the selection, implementation, and maintenance of common operating systems based on organizational needs and industry best practices Scenario You are a systems architect at a medium-sized publishing company with 130 employees. The company primarily publishes books, both in print and online. It also produces other kinds of content, such as audiobooks, interactive reading material, and magazines. Your leadership has decided that it is time to either upgrade or adopt a new OS (e.g., Windows, Linux, macOS). As the systems architect, you have the responsibility to determine which OS the company should implement. There are many aspects to consider when making this decision, including what existing applications are used by employees on a frequent basis, cost, functionality provided, performance, vendor support, etc. To determine which OS should be implemented, you need to complete a site survey. After comparing the different OS options in the site survey, you will develop a brief proposal on what OS (or hybrid) the company should implement to meet its organizational needs. Directions Review the Company’s Organizational Needs To make a well-informed decision, you should understand the company’s organizational needs. Before completing your site survey and writing your proposal, review the Organizational Needs document linked in the Supporting Materials area below. Complete a Site Survey A site survey compares the three different operating systems that the company is planning to implement. To complete this task, use the Site Survey template linked in the Supporting Materials area. Your site survey must have the following sections completed: Operating Systems: Acknowledge what OSes are already used on site in your site survey. The type of OS already used and how many employees are using that OS can influence your decision making. Server: Determine whether the desktops are on a hardware or cloud-based server. Although not required in this portion of the project, you may want to think about whether or not the server should be changed. This change could be recommended in your proposal. Standard Hardware for Operating System Types: Determine the minimum required hardware. This could include desktop and server. Network Connection: Determine whether the network is wired or wireless. Although not required in this portion of the project, you may want to think about whether or not the network connection should be changed. This change could be recommended in your proposal. Applications: Identify what software applications need to be supported by the OS. Your survey of what applications desktop users use most frequently will influence your decision making, as some applications are not supported by certain OSes. Write a Proposal Your proposal will be used to inform leadership as to which OSes the company should implement based on the findings of your site survey. Your proposal needs to include the following: Overview of Desktop Footprint: Identify desktop systems that need to be upgraded and other OSes that need to be considered in the environment. This includes the locations of the desktop computers and any risks or vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. Recommendation: Recommend which OS should be selected and implemented, as well as whether it should be on-premise or cloud-based. Justification: Justify your decision based on your site survey findings and course concepts. You can also consider the number of end users, cost, and hardware requirements as part of your findings. Implementation Diagram: Create a diagram of what the final roll-out of the OSes would be. Your diagram should show the number of desktops and users, locations, and departments. It should be an upgraded version of what you found in the Organizational Needs document. Although you can create a diagram within the Word document, it is recommended that you use a diagram application such as Visio, Lucidchart, or draw.io. Information on how to use these services is in the Supporting Materials section. Keep in mind that you have to create only one diagram, so you do not have to use all applications. However, be sure that you upload and paste your diagram into the Word document as part of your proposal section. You should not upload it as a separate file. Supporting Materials The following resources may help support your work on the project: Reading: Organizational Needs This document will provide you with context on the company’s needs and industry best practices. As you review this document, you will learn about what the company currently uses when it comes to hardware and software. Learning about the organization’s needs can help you make an informed decision on which OS to implement. Template: Site Survey Template with proposal included Use this template to compare the operating systems that the company can implement for its employees who use desktops. Then be sure to include your proposal at the bottom of the form. Tutorial Resource: Microsoft: Add a Drawing to a Document As part of your proposal, you need to include a diagram. This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating drawings using the tools available through Microsoft Office. You do not have to use Microsoft Office to create the diagram, but it is an option.
