For this exam you will again have 2 compare and contrast or images-centered themed essays.  Chapters 23, 24, 25, 26, 31

1) For each of the two required essays, select the pair or the group within a lettered row in the table; use the left and right, as shown, or each of the included numbered images in the row.

For each work, label your essay with the letter for the row and left or right or the number given, then, first identify  the works, in list form before your start the essay,  providing the artist, title, date, and location (if architecture), according to this scheme (Can cut-and-paste):

 A.       Your Left:                                                                               Your Right:

Period/Style:                                                                                      Period/Style:

Date:                                                                            Date:

Location, if architecture                                                                  Location,  if architecture

 Then discuss the works in relationship to one another, fully exploring their significance and implications as examples of American work.  Consider their roots and/or influence, their use/purpose, meaning, occasion for creation, types, and anything else that may be significant in historical/art historical terms, including other works by the same artist or their training, circumstances, &C.  State the rationale for the comparison or grouping.  Write a fully developed essay.  If you refer to images not included here, cite them by PPT or ill. number. Do not use quotations -- put things in your own words.

If you were to take this exam in the classroom, I would provide you 2 pages per essay, so let that be your guide as to length, but make sure you that fully answer the question, regardless of length.  Your answers should be drawn only from the material in the PPT videos, in-class videos, your text, and your own thoughtful observation.  This NOT a research project. DO NOT go surfing the web for your essay material. Use of Web Material will result in a 0 (zero) for the exam,  and a 0 (zero) for the course.
