I need some help for an Anthropology project.?

Question

I am taking Anthro this year. We have to make some sort of a 3-D model describing what Anthropolgy is and the four different branches of it. Then after the four branches, we have to go into detail of each branch. I have to make it artsy. Any help?

Answer 1

You have to make it artsy?

sigh

Not being artsy myself, I'm afraid I don't have any inspiration for this seemingly silly assignment.

All I can suggest is that you review the four branches, take lots of notes about each, then brainstorm with yourself about how you might illustrate each.

In some cases, your model could show anthropologists at work. In others you'll need to work symbolically.

So step one is being clear about what you have to "say" in the project.

Answer 2

I have a BA in anthropology, but I have no idea why a professor would have students make a 3-D model. Sounds a bit silly; doesn't seem like it would help you learn about the four branches of anthropology. But maybe you could do something like: the branch for linguistic anth made out of letters from different cultures, the one for bio anth out of bones, the one for archaeology out of archaeology tools, and the one for cultural anth out of pictures of people from different cultures.

Good luck!
