At a morning staff meeting, you tell the other art curators at the museum about the package that you received in the mail.  Upon hearing the news, your colleagues suggest that you team up with other Met art curators to gather the evidence needed to build a case for either: 

1. convincing the museum's board of trustees (Your classmates/Mrs. Carnegie) that the artwork has indeed been created by the artist whose name appears in the letter and should be exhibited along with others done by him as part of the Met's permanent collection.

or

2. persuading them to not accept the piece into the Met's permanent collection because the museums curators do not feel that it was done by the famous artist listed in the letter as claimed. 

(At this point, you will be broken up into groups of three or four individuals in order to complete this task.)  Once all the art curators in your group have seen for themselves the letter and artwork sent in the package, it is time for each of the members of your group to begin gathering evidence on their own to help build a case.  After doing so, each member of a group is to share his findings with all the other members of the same group.  At this time, each group will need to decide which of the two directions listed in this WebQuest to pursue for their case based on the evidence presented by its members.  Next, the members of each group will utilize the information that they have collected collaboratively to produce a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that will enable them to effectively present their case to the museums board of trustees at the next staff meeting.
