Write an analytical essay using Scholarly Research only (no Artistic Research). Discuss the background of your topic using factual research information that helps you explain the topic you are diving into. Focus on academic sites and museum as reliable sources for resources. You may also consult Art Journals. JSTOR is an excellent database of articles and journals on the humanities that can be accessed through the Annie Gabriel Library website in InsideCBU.) Scholarly articles can be found through .org or .edu websites and also through Google Scholar. You may also use various textbooks if you have them on hand.
Part 2. 500-word Reflective Essay
Compare your Scholarly and Artistic Research and write a 500-word essay about the similarities or differences.
Part 3. 300-word Artwork and Description of Artwork
Create your own artwork that resembles the artist or style that you are researching. Then create a 300-word essay using vocabulary learned throughout the course to demonstrate mastery writing skills to explain your artwork.
You must include all 3 parts of the assignment to receive full credit. For all written work, write in MLA or APA format. Double spaced, size 12 font in Times New Roman. Be sure to utilize the vocabulary, concepts, and principles of art that we have covered throughout the course. You must also include your bibliography which will not be included in the word count.
Keep in mind:
Portfolios should include a title page, subtitles for each section and be formatted according the either MLA or APA style guides.
This is a formal academic paper – therefore – first-person narrative voice should not be used. (No “I,” “me,” “my.”)
Titles of artwork should always be in italics.
Artists should never be referred to be only their first name: Nolde, or Emil Nolde, but never just Emil.
Try to avoid words like “great,” or “things” or “gets” as descriptors or adjectives – be more specific. Instead of saying “the artist is great at rendering naturalistic space…” consider “the artist’s representation of three-dimensional space if effective because…”
Do your best not to leave room for your reader to ask “how,” or why?”
