ART 217 Survey of Art History—Decker – Spring 2014  

Honors
Increment
students
‐
see
me
for
Honors
essay
directives.

 
 For
honors
students:
All
grading
opportunities
as
designated
on
the
syllabus
remain,
with
the
exception
of
the
 essay.
The
essay
of
two
to
three
pages
for
the
class
shall
be
replaced
by
an
in‐depth
essay
(5‐7
pages
of
five
to
 seven
pages).
Two
additional
components
are
required
of
the
Honors
Student:
consultation
and
discussion.
In
 preparation
for
the
essay,
the
student
will
consult
with
the
instructor
at
least
once.
Students
enrolled
with
the
 Honors
Increment
will
participate
in
a
discussion
with
peers
in
this
course
about
their
findings
after
the
paper
has
 been
submitted.
This
presentation
discussion
will
be
open
to
all
art
faculty,
the
Director
of
the
Honors
Program,
 and
faculty
in
the
student’s
major
as
well.

 
 The
subject
and
scope
of
the
essay
is
selected
by
the
student
and
approved
by
me.
Ideally,
the
student
might
 select
a
work
of
art,
theory,
or
application
that
has
some
bearing
in
his/her
own
major.
However,
the
essay
must
 use
a
work
that
can
be
viewed
directly
as
a
key
resource
(though
it
needn’t
be
the
entire
focus
of
the
essay).

 
 The
essay
is
intended
to
give
the
student
experience
with
deeper
research
that
might
eventually
be
used
for
an
 honors
thesis
project.
Please
ask
me
if
you
would
like
some
suggestions
or
types
of
topics
considered
by
previous
 students.
If
no
major
has
been
selected
by
the
student,
appropriate
essay
situations
will
be
arranged
in
 consultation
with
the
instructor.
 
 Images
 You
must
include
at
least
two
images
of
works
that
are
located
in
Stokstad.
The
images
must
be
properly
identified
 and
cited.
To
find
good
image
sources,
use
Credo
Reference
first.
Please!
 
 Due
dates
correlate
with
assignment
sheet
given
to
non‐Honors
students.
Points
will
be
assigned
for
each
of
the
 three
components
of
this
essay,
culminating
in
maximum
points
of
200.

 
 Footnotes
&
Bibliography
using
Chicago
Manual
of
Style
must
be
used.
