THE EXAM:
a. Select 3 pairs of works. A pair is one to the right with one to the left of the same number. Number your choices with the number from the grid.. For each of those pairs, fully identify the works, using the following scheme: (can cut and paste into your document) (images come from text or PPT videos, and may be details rather than full images -- if so, use information provided and discuss the whole work (s) and details, and their contexts, as appropriate)
Title: Title: Date: Date: Artist/Architect, if known: Artist/Architect, if known: Location, only if architecture Location, only if architecture or architectural decoration: or architectural decoration:
NO museum locations NO museum locations
b. For each pair you select Write a fully-developed essay in which you compare and contrast these works. For each pair, write a UNIFIED essay, using complete sentences, in which you discuss the works in relationship to one another. What is the point of the comparison? Is the subject matter similar, or is there some other issue by which the two might be linked? Evaluate similarities and differences between each two. Consider purposes of each and its significance within the stylistic/historical/cultural period and context in which it was created. Also consider: media/material, size, style, artist, location, etc., as appropriate, with particular attention to the ways in which these features differ between these two works. Do not use Web materials. (this will result in a 0 (ZERO) for the exam. AND for the course) Write a fully developed essay of 1-2 pages for each topic, and be sure to cover the issues fully. Stay focused on these as ART or ARCHITECTURE. Do not make lists, tick points, or write separate essays on each. Do not write a skimpy or minimal answer. Avoid hype and superlatives and generalizations. Discuss as fully as possible. Use proper terminology and explain what the terms mean, as appropriate. Do NOT use quotation -- express the ideas in your own words and give credit to the source for the idea.
Form your answers from both the text and PPT videos. This NOT a research project. DO NOT go surfing the web for your essay material. If you use any sources, give proper citations. Do not take data from text or PPT videos verbatim-- paraphrase -- use your own words and synthesize the information, and add your own reflections to these sources from looking at the works and considering the issues. Do not limit yourself to the short segments on the specific works, but consider also the information and opinion given on the eras and their concerns, as well as other examples of similar monuments, as long as you are careful to distinguish the one here from the others in relevant ways.If you have technical
