Art History Short Paper on Art in the Chazen Museum
For the following assignment please select one of the art works listed below. You should plan to do a short (5 page maximum) paper that includes the following:
- Do a careful visual analysis, taking into account the medium and the original function of the work. How does the medium impact the image in terms of composition, overall shape, color.
- Find a work of art on our syllabus that shows parallels in style and purpose with the piece you have chosen. You may even find something by the same artist.
- Is there any material on reserve in Kohler Art Library that helps put your work of art into a context of artistic school, art patronage, or purpose? Document your reference with a correct bibliographical citation. If you paraphrase something from a published work be careful to state it in your own words. If you quote a passage be certain to do that correctly as well. Check the
Writing Center web site
for correct procedure or the recommended Barnet at the bookstore.
