To formulate your essays, you should use your notes from class, the data in your text and, your own thoughtful consideration of the works and issues.
This is not a research project. DO NOT USE WEB MATERIAL -- it will result in a ZERO for the exam (another such instance will result in a Zero for the
course). If you wrote this in the test period, I would give you two sides of a page for each of the essays, so let that be your guide as to length.
First, in list form, at the top of the essay, identify each of the works in a pairs,with movement/style, title, artist, location (for architecture), and date.
Then, for that pair of slides, write a UNIFIED essay, using complete sentences, in which you discuss the works in relationship to one other.
State what the purpose of the comparison would be, and evaluate the similarities and the differences between each two. Consider the purpose
of each and its significance within the stylistic/historical period in which it was created, as well as how it reflects that time and place, as well as
Early Modernism. Use proper terminology and explain what the terms mean, as appropriate.
You might also consider the specific work in relationship to the artist's career, their other works).
Also consider: media, size, style, location, etc., as appropriate. Do not write a separate essay for each work in a pair.
Do not use Web materials. (this will result in a 0 (ZERO) for the exam. A second instance of this will result in a 0 for the course) Write a fully developed essay of 2 pages + for each topic.
