| For this exam you will have the choice of writing 2 or 4 essays --
3 on single works, and one in which you compare and contrast a pair of works
or 2 compare and contrast. Chapters
16-22 1) Select 3 single images or those within a single box (left side) from those in the table below and write a fully developed essay for each of the 2 works. For each work that you select, label your essay with the letter for the pair and left or right, then, first identify the work, in list form, providing the artist, title, date, and location (if architecture). Then fully discuss that work and its significance as an American work in the stylistic group or time frame or cultural category in which we considered it. AND/OR 2) select one pair (if you selected 3 singles) or 2 pairs that are grouped as a pair in the table (adjacent left and right boxes), label your essay with the letter in the table and fully identify each of the works, in list form, as above. 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, 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. Write a fully developed essay. If you refer to images not included here, cite them by PPT or ill. number. If you were to take this exam in the classroom, I would provide you 1 full page for the single works, and 2 pages per essay for the compare and contrast pair, so let that be your guide as to length, but make sure you that fully answer the question, regardless of length.
