DO NOT place your last name/ page number in the upper right corners of the body of your paper. Your paper will have a cover sheet that will display the following: 

1. Student name

2. Project name ( Museum Article Paper )

3. Due Date (see Handout)

4. Course Name: (see Handout)

Begin your paper with a brief description of what you are looking at; do this for each artwork. Follow through with your thoughts on how it looks to you, the use of colors (if applicable). If color is not a factor, then what about the material the artwork is made of!?!  Tell me what you think the work is about, what its message is, point being made, comment; social, political, personal!?! What does the card of information (usually located to the left of the artwork) say this work is about?

Do you believe what it says to be true? If so, tell me how and in what way. If not, then tell me how you see it. And finally, tell me why this artwork was selected amongst all the others?

Consider what is being asked of you by thinking it all through before beginning your paper.

Remember, this paper is worth 15% or 15 points of your total grade. You will lose valuable points if this paper is submitted in any other format other than the one I am requiring of you.
