makes them different. Some things will be obvious but investigate
deeper and you will find things that might surprise you.

both works of art and then discuss what formal elements they have
in common and what formal elements are different between the two
works.

-Your paper must be between 2 – 5 pages double spaced (12pt
font). In addition to your 2 – 5 pages please include a title page
and a bibliography. (Making your final paper 4 – 7 pages).
-You are required to use at least one source other than your
textbook. (you will have a minimum of 2 sources including your text
book)

– Wikipedia is not an acceptable online source. For a few of
the acceptable online sources please see the Other Resources link
on the left side of the page. If you have found a source that you
are not sure if it is acceptable please contact me.

–
In both options you are asked to formally analyze Visual
Art. The emphasis of your paper should be the work of art instead
of any biographical information of the artist. Please limit your
biographical information to less than 5% of your paper. Your paper
should take on a scholarly and analytical approach to the work of
art. Personal opinion must be sacrificed (the likes and dislikes of
art). The majority of your paper should be focused on exploring and
analyzing the formal elements of the artist work.

– The assignments needs to be done in MLA style and will
require the use of parenthetically cited sources.
