1. Renaissant Art
Renaissant ArtThe final papers are upon us. Both require 1750+ words. For the first part of
Unit 4 you will be concentrating on the artist Raphael. While I do want you to include some
information about how Raphael’ s career developed, I do NOT need a biography about him.
I only want the part that relates to his growth as an artist.• Your focus should be on why
Raphael is considered to be such an important Renaissance artist.• Why does he stand out
as the iconic Renaissance artist. What do you see in his work that makes it so
important?• Why is his work seen as the culmination of the trends and techniques that
preceded him?• You will need to examine his works carefully and think about the works of
the other artists you have studied this semester. Do you see a difference in Raphael’ s
treatment of the human figure? Of emotion? Of scenery or the background? Of colors,
light?Although no annotations are required I do suggest that you use outside reference
materials to support your observations. I will award up to 3 points of extra credit for the
inclusion of good, scholarly resources in your bibliography. This means you should be using
some material from these sources in your paper.Proofread your paper in aIDition to
using spell check before submission. Make sure you have read the syllabus and that you
have correctly targeted your paper. Careful editing always creates a stronger more focused
paper. And be sure to include images with captions for all works discussed.A few of you
have fallen significantly behind…it is time to really dive in and get busy if you wish to
receive a passing grade. I am happy to say that most of you have shown significant
improvement in your writing and research skills over the semester. I hope that you have
gained an appreciation for the great art of the Renaissance.Available after Friday, February

for our purposes is a list of all relevant sources that you have referred to for your paper. I
would like you to keep this separate from your “ Works Cited,” which should be a list of the
sources that you actually quoted or used material from directly.Bibliography:• Give the
author’ s last name first in each entry• If a work is by more than one author, it is listed
under the first author’ s last name• Anonymous works are listed by title at the appropriate
alphabetical place, including the initial article, if any (The, A, An), but alphabetizing the
work under the next word. Thus the citation of an anonymous book called The
Impressionists would include “ The,” but the book would be alphabetized under “ I.” • Each
entry should be single-spaced, beginning flush left. If the entry runs onto a second line, the
subsequent lines should be indented• Double space between entries• Italicize book titlesFor
our purposed your annotated bibliography should be embeIDed within your bibliography

2. which is arranged in alphabetical order.• The annotations should run approximately 10
sentences (sentences, not fragments!)• The sentences should be in essay format• Give me a
review of what the site’ s purpose was, or what the book or article’ s main idea was. What
does the book or site explore? This does not mean a summary of the source• Include
whether you thought the source was helpful or not, and why• If an internet site, was it easy
or difficult to navigate?
