Term Paper Outline (Norman Lewis)

Term paper outline on Norman Lewis and two of his paintings, Migrating Birds(1953), and The Yellow Hat(1936).

You do not need to have a full introduction or conclusion. However, you need to clarify your thesis, which you will later include in your introduction. 

Fill in the blanks in the sample outline or create your own.  At minimum, you will need

1. A thesis statement
2. Three supporting topic statements
3. At least three references

Your supporting topic statements should be based on your preliminary research. Each should directly relate to the thesis and how you plan to prove your idea.  Do not list things such as ‘artist’s early life’ or ‘how artist influenced others’, unless those ideas are directly related to the theme of your paper.  If you believe a painting or sculpture will support your topic, include a statement on how plan to analyze that work to show relevance.
