paper_1_art.docxNO Plagiarize it should contain only pertinent information. DO NOT fill it up with fluff please! It should be 12 pt font, double spaced and Times New Roman Font and follow the Chicago Style Guide of writing.
This is not an opinion paper, so you should stay away from using “I.”
2-3 pages in length
First, I want you to look at your piece from University of Pennsylvania’s Museum. https://www.penn.museum/exhibitions/special-exhibitions/sacred-spaces
proposal to your audience so that they can “see” what you are looking at. This also means that you should have little to no background information in the paper. For example, I do not want to know who made it or the history of the object or the history of the subject. I simply want you to visually discuss the object in front of you. I do expect that you will use vocabulary that you have learned in class, or that
you would find in the book if you write about something we have not yet covered.
Here is a list of questions that you can use to help create your paper. These are only
a guide and do not have to be answered!
What kind of object is it? Sculpture? Relief? Painting?
How large is the object? Exact measurements or general guess, i.e. lifesize.
What is it made of?
Is it realistic? Believable? Factual? Idealized?
How many figures are there?
What are the figures doing?
Use what you’ve already learned to talk about the work of art. Does it fit
your notion of what something from that time period or place should look like? Why or why not?
At the end of the paper, identify a work of art from your textbook that might make for a good comparison to your museum object.
The work of art from textbook :
Waterworn pebble
