How to Format your Paper · Please follow standard MLA formatting. This means double spaced, 12 point font, one inch margins, in Times New Roman. At the top of the first page, please include your name, the course number, my name, the assignment, and the date. See the Paper Outline Example in the Course Files tab for an example. · Additionally, the top of each page should have a header with your last name and the page number in the upper right corner. · Your title should be centered and all paragraphs should be indented. Make sure you attached the outlne paper sperate don’t forget Thesis Statements · Your introduction should have thesis statement that tells your reader what the paper is about. Please note that we are calling it a “thesis statement,” not a “thesis sentence.” The key difference is that if it takes you two or three sentences to articulate the topic of your paper, that is perfectly fine. There is no need to try and jam it all into one long run-on sentence. Pilgrims : If you use any words or ideas that did not originate in your own brain, you MUST cite your source. It is really important. I cannot stress this enough. It GREAT to use someone else's ideas in this assignment because it is a research paper and that is largely the point! Just give them the credit they deserve. How to include images : · You must include an image of every artwork you mention in your paper. Images should NOT be copied into the body of your paper, but instead will come at the end, all together in a list, after your work cited page. Anytime you introduce an artwork in your paper, include a parenthetical reference with a figure number. That looks like this: “The Sarcophagus of Maria Antiqua is a beautifully preserved piece of funerary art whose ornate carvings and style suggest it was made for a wealthy patron in the late 3rd century CE (Figure 1).” . Then at the end of your paper, you will have your list of figures . Note that artwork titles are always in italics . In your list of figures, all artworks should be Fully ID-ed with all available information (Title, artist (if known), date, Period, Location, Medium, size). . The images you use should be large enough to actually see the details (no more than two per page) . To see more examples, look at my article about this sarcophagus What does “fully describe and analyze” mean? · When discussing artworks, you should always fully describe and analyze each piece of art, as much as possible. These descriptions should go beyond what most of you do for your journals. I should be able to understand what the image looks like just by reading your description. When speaking or writing about a work of art (in any form) we use the present tense. · I made a video about the process of writing this type of description, which can be found "Describing Art" file under the Week 2 Course Unit Folder. · Here is another example: . “Unlike most Baroque portrait busts, in his work Bust of Costanza from 1636, Bernini left his subject’s clothing plain; the simplicity of the blouse draws the viewer’s attention to her face. Her disheveled hair frames her face and brushes the back of her neck, tantalizingly. The turned head and piercing eyes create the illussion that she is aware of the viewer’s presence. Bernini also depicts Costanza with her lips parted in either speech or a gasp or perhaps in anticipation. The softness of the body Bernini sculpted is emphasized by the raw edges of the bust, which gives the illusion of flesh. Together, all these qualities bring life to the marble. It becomes easy to imagine that Bernini had an intimate relationship with Costanza and knew the dimensions of her face and the feeling of her flesh. The tousled hair and blouse and expectant expression make the viewer aware that this is not a sitter looking at an artist, but a woman looking at her lover.” · When you are analyzing the work, you should take the reader through what an artwork actually meant and how we know what it meant and what is the historical significance. Who was it made for? How was it displayed (if that’s applicable)? What was its purpose? Was it public or private art? Those kinds of questions that I’d like you to answer if possible.
