Assignment Directions

This assignment assesses CO-1 & 4 [content page].

For this paper, you will combine the lessons in this course to analyze a work of art using formal and sociocultural methods of analysis. You will look at a work of art and carefully describe the use of the elements of composition and principles of design. Then, you will research the work of art and discuss how the work of art was interpreted by the original audience.

1. Step 1: Week 3 - Paper Proposal: After visiting the art museums on Google Arts and Culture, identify a work of art that catches your eye and that you would like to learn more about during this course. Your selection should be a painting, print, photograph, or sculpture. Record the identification information for the work you select (artist, title, date, medium, and museum collection).

2. Step 2: Week 5 - Annotated Bibliography: Explore the resources at the Trefry Library to ensure you can find scholarly information about the work of art you selected. You might find it helpful to use the Art and Film Research Guide. If you need help, remember you can use the “Ask a Librarian” chat the top of the library’s webpage.

3. Step 3: Week 7 - Final Paper: You will write a formal essay that includes the following:

I. Introduction: this paragraph should identify the work of art you will analyze, introduce the purpose of your paper and include a thesis statement that presents the major point (argument) of your paper.

II. Formal/Visual Analysis: this section should incorporate the elements of composition and principles of design as you describe a work of art for your reader. Aim to discuss the work of art as though you are trying to paint a mental picture of the work.

III. Sociocultural Analysis: this section should consider how the work of art reflects the time period in which it was created.

IV. Conclusion: this paragraph should restate your thesis and be a summary of the major points you made in your paper.

V. Works Consulted and Works Cited: cite the resources you used to help you develop your ideas. You might use the Trefry Library’s Citation Hub [Web Page] for help citing your sources.

Be sure to review the following prior to submitting your assignment:

· We strive for academic integrity in all aspects of education, and you are expected to uphold these standards when creating and submitting your discussion. View the Standards of Student Conduct [webpage] for more information on what that means at APUS.
