    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 artists, their concerns, and movements with which they were associated or notions and traditions against which they may have reacted, influences on their work, &C &C &C.   If you refer to images not included here, cite them by PPT or ill. number.

    Remember that this is a Writing class, you will be evaluated for writing: grammar, clarity, logic, spelling, word choices, etc.

    To formulate your essay, 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. 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 yourguide as to length. 

     

    First, identify each of the two works in the pairs, with culture/style/period, 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
    another.  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.

    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.

    No late submissions will be accepted, so start early. 
    If I cannot open your document because you did not submit it in MSWord, as directed, it will be considered late and will not be accepted.  In either case, you will earn a 0 (Zero) for the exam.
