Questions
Once you’ve selected the
10 artists you would like to focus on, you’ll need to research answers to the
following seven questions or question groups:
What’s the year of the artist’s
birth (and, where applicable, death)?
Where was the artist born? Where
did he or she create the majority of his or her work (if at a different
location than this place of birth)?
What medium did the artist use?
Did he or she use more than one main medium?
Which art movement did the artist
contribute to? If he or she contributed to more than one movement, where
did this artist make the greatest impact?
What are some of the artist’s
most famous works of art? Choose one of these works. In what ways is the
piece characteristic of the movement specified above? (Include an image of
the chosen piece.)
What challenges, if any, did the artist
face that may have affected his or her work? What was happening in the
world at that time that influenced the artist’s work?
What’s innovative about the
artist’s work for that time period?

You’ll then write an
APA-formatted essay that contains a title page, a brief introduction and
conclusion, in-text citations supporting your research, and a reference list.
Answer each question using complete sentences. The essay should be a minimum of
1,200 words. However, most students finish the project in about 2,000 words.
Answer the questions in
essay format; do not answer them in list format.
You’ll
need to find at least one source for each artist from the internet, a library,
or elsewhere. Be sure to use reputable sources when searching for information
on your selected artists.
Writing Guidelines
Your essay should be
a minimum of 1,200 words.
Your essay should be
double-spaced, with 1″ margins and 12-point Times New Roman font.
Your entire project should be
contained in one (1) Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format file.
Your essay should include a cover
page and works cited page using APA formatting.
References
As you read and research
for this project, gather your sources’ information. Bookmark and save all URLs.
List all sources cited
in your essay (including images). Begin your list on a new page after your
conclusion paragraph. List sources alphabetically by author’s last name (or
title if author is unknown). Capitalize the first word of the title plus all
major words except articles and prepositions.
Titles of books and
websites are in italics while articles, postings, or smaller
works are set in quotation marks. You’ll need to list your course textbook, any
other texts that you used, pieces of art you referenced, and websites you
consulted. Below are four basic formats to work from:
Author last name, first initial. Middle initial. (Year
published). Title of work. Location: publisher.
Author last name, first initial. Middle initial. (Year
published). Title of article. Title of periodical, volume (issue),
page range.
Author last name, first initial. (Year, month of date
published). Title of webpage. Retrieved (date) from URL.
Artist. (Year). Title [Description of material]. Retrieved
(date) from URL.
