STAGE 5: Final Paper ARTS 1301 ~ Dr. Foltz

At the end of the semester, you write a final paper that combines all the previous stages of the project. Consider this a final, complete draft of your work this semester. This should include formal analysis of your chosen museum artwork (2-3 paragraphs), research about the artwork (2-3 paragraphs) and its culture (1-2 paragraphs), and general analysis of how the work represents the culture. Conclude with a separate Works Cited page that lists the sources you used on this paper. These may be different from the ones you cited before. The final paper should be approximately 3-5 pages long, using MLA format for style, layout, and citations. (*NOTE: do NOT use footnotes for this paper. MLA requires parenthetical citations.) This includes 12-point standard font, double spacing, 1” margins, and in-text citations. (See below.) The Works Cited page is additional. All outside information must be cited, even if you have cited it in previous papers. All papers will be checked for plagiarism in SafeAssign. If you are unsure about whether you’re using citations correctly, please schedule an appointment (online or in-person) with the ECC Learning Center. This paper should be uploaded in eCampus by 11:59pm on the due date. See the rubric in eCampus for details on how credit is earned.
