Write a 7-page paper on a Colonial mission church San Francisco, 1776 Mission Dolores . You will first briefly describe the general setting of the church (layout and composition of the mission complex). Then you must discuss the specific characteristics of the mission church proper, including its construction, exterior architectural style and decoration, as well as interior decoration. Consider the relationship of your chosen mission church to churches of Mexico. How is your chosen example similar to 16th-century Mexican mission churches? How is it different? Consider the stylistic influences apparent in the construction and decoration. Does it, for example, reflect Baroque or Neoclassical styles rather than 16th-century church styles? Equally important to your discussion is your church’s reflection of the cultural and stylistic trends at mission complexes in the US Southwest, as summarized in lectures and in your text. Consider construction, types and significance of exterior and interior decoration, as well as any features that are specifically southwestern in nature.
This is a research paper, but your discussion must reflect YOUR observations and thoughts about the subject. I want to hear your voice as I read your text. Make sure that you cite each and every source of original thought or wording that is not your own, but do not include lengthy quotations in the body of your text. A paper that is wholly or in part copied from any text is unacceptable, and will be returned to you without a grade. Include footnotes and a proper bibliography of works consulted. If you choose to include illustrations for comparative purposes, place them at the end of the paper, not in the text. Illustrations will not count toward the required page length of your paper. Late papers will be subject to grade penalties.
Please compose your paper in Microsoft Word and format as follows:
12 pt. font
11/2 or double-spaced
1” margins on top, bottom and sides
Indent 5 spaces at the beginning of each paragraph; do not set off paragraphs with empty spaces between them.
Include a title page with your name, class, and title of your essay.
Use Chicago Style notes and bibliography. For information about Chicago Style footnotes and bibliography, consult: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html
