You will conduct research and write a comparison of 2 artworks. They can be from the same movement but by two different artists OR from two different movements by two different artists
Your paper should include the following components:
1. Introduction. Brief history of each artwork you will be discussing (time/place/context in which the work was created; brief information on the artist).
2. Formal (visual) analysis of each work of art using the art elements and design principles. You will get this information from looking at the works of art, taking notes on what you observe and looking back at your class notes.
3. Compare and contrast the works of art. What is similar and what is different?
4. Contextual Analysis: Make connections between the works of art and the time/place/context in which they were created. Why did each artist make the artistic choices they did? Do you think those choices reflect something about the artist (e.g., gender, nationality, age, religion)? You will get this information from reading about the works of art and looking back at your class notes.
5. To conclude the paper, you should say why you find the works significant and artistically appealing. What made you select those particular artworks? Why do you think they are important?
Note:
Your paper should open with section 1. Introduction and end with section 5. Conclusion.
The main body of your paper will be composed of the information that you have gathered in sections 2, 3 and 4. The order that you arrange this information in these sections will depend on the observations/comparisons/connections/you are making.
It is important that the two art works that you choose share something in common. For example:
· Same art movement
· Similar subject matter
· Express similar message/emotion
· Address similar issue/problem
Finding your art works
Use the following sources to select your artworks for comparison, Museum websites will be your best resource.
Google Arts and Culture
Tate Museums (http://www.tate.org.uk/art/)
Museum of Modern Art, New York (http://www.moma.org/collection/)
National Museum of Women in the Arts (http://nmwa.org/)
Metropolitan Museum of Art (http://metmuseum.org)
However, you can search elsewhere if you wish. A simple search such a “Realist artists” will produce many images that you can browse, then you can identify the museum that holds your chosen art work (s) and search for the museum’s information on the painting.
Sources:
You are required to use at least 4 reputable sources for your research. These can include books, articles and museum web sites. Articles do not just have to be from academic journals; you can use major newspapers and magazines such as, New York Times, BBC, The Guardian, or other regional news sources. Museum websites are also particularly good sources of information. Check with Kara if you have any questions about a source.
If you quote from or paraphrase a source in your paper you should include a citation after the quote/paraphrase. The format would be (Author/website, page #).
You should also have a References page that lists all sources you consulted in an accepted citation format (APA) 7th edition
