Some General Suggested Topics for Research
It is up to you to take one of these general topics and narrow in on an interest area of your own liking. We are not looking for a huge overview, rather a presentation on an area that you find interesting within the larger topic. For instance, if you were interested in art you might narrow down thousands of years, and hundreds of art mediums, and research the pottery of a particular dynasty. Another example might be "the symbology of art found in Buddhist temples" or something else specific.
