Lesson 7 Overview
Throughout this course, you
were exposed to various
artists, movements, and
media, looking at art from
around the world throughout
history. For this project, you’ll
continue your study of artists
throughout the major periods
of art history, from the 1700s through the 1900s.
Your textbook covers the most renowned artists of each period.
However, there are other artists who changed the landscape of art and
added a significant number of other well-known works that your
textbook doesn’t cover thoroughly. You’ll now be tasked with
researching some of these artists to see how they influenced their
respective movements.

need to research answers to the following seven questions or question
groups:
1. What’s the year of the artist’s birth (and, where applicable, death)?
2. Where was the artist born? Where did he or she create the majority
of his or her work (if at a different location than this place of birth)?
3. What medium did the artist use? Did he or she use more than one
main medium?
4. Which art movement did the artist contribute to? If he or she
contributed to more than one movement, where did this artist make
the greatest impact?
5. What are some of the artist’s most famous works of art? Choose
one of these works. In what ways is the piece characteristic of the

movement specified above? (Include an image of the chosen
piece.)
6. What challenges, if any, did the artist face that may have affected
his or her work? What was happening in the world at that time that
influenced the artist’s work?
7. What’s innovative about the artist’s work for that time period?
You'll then write an APA-formatted essay that contains a title page, a
brief introduction and conclusion, in-text citations supporting your
research, and a reference list. Answer each question using complete
sentences. The essay should be a minimum of 1,200 words. However,
most students finish the project in about 2,000 words.
Answer the questions in essay format; do not answer them in list format.
You’ll need to find at least one source for each artist from the internet, a
library, or elsewhere. Be sure to use reputable sources when searching
for information on your selected artists.
Writing Guidelines
1. Your essay should be a minimum of 1,200 words.
2. Your essay should be double-spaced, with 1" margins and 12-point
Times New Roman font.
3. Your entire project should be contained in one (1) Microsoft Word
or Rich Text Format file.
4. Your essay should include a cover page and works cited page
using APA formatting.

List all sources cited in your essay (including images). Begin your list on
a new page after your conclusion paragraph. List sources alphabetically
by author’s last name (or title if author is unknown). Capitalize the first
word of the title plus all major words except articles and prepositions.
Titles of books and websites are in italics while articles, postings, or
smaller works are set in quotation marks. You’ll need to list your course
textbook, any other texts that you used, pieces of art you referenced,
and websites you consulted. Below are four basic formats to work from:
Author last name, first initial. Middle initial. (Year published). Title of
work. Location: publisher.
Author last name, first initial. Middle initial. (Year published). Title of
article. Title of periodical, volume (issue), page range.
Author last name, first initial. (Year, month of date published). Title of
webpage. Retrieved (date) from URL.
Artist. (Year). Title [Description of material]. Retrieved (date) from URL.
