Format: 8–10 pages (~2000 words) not including bibliography (MLA or Chicago so long as it is
consistent), double spaced, 12-point Times New Roman or Calibri in Microsoft Word (.docx) format.
Develop an analytical essay that explores your chosen topic.
You should identify the major artists within your chosen style or movement and discuss why specific
works of art are exemplary of it. You should then further develop a clear thesis about your chosen topic,
take a position, and defend your ideas with examples from your sources and examples of works of art.
Note: your essay is not a summary of works within a particular style but rather must present an argument
or claim about what you are analyzing. There is no strict form that the essay should take but it should
discuss multiple artists and works from within a particular movement rather than focus in on one artist.
A successful essay will present a clearly argued point of view and support its argument with sources. It
will avoid statements of opinion and instead rely on clear use of examples (readings, works, additional
sources, lectures). Your essay should be in conversation with the course materials as well as your chosen
sources (a minimum of 5).
