ART HISTORY: Asian Research Paper Assignment Topic statement due: March 31, Tuesday Tentative thesis statement and working bibliography due: April 16, Thursday Research Paper draft due: May 14, Thursday Finished Research paper due: May 26, Tuesday (Final) This assignment asks you to produce a paper that is clearly academic writing. TOPIC OR SUBJECT MATTER You must choose two works of art from distinct geographic locations or time periods. After comparing (finding similarities) and contrasting (finding differences) the two, you must come up with a concludive thesis statement, which you will argue in your paper. Art history papers are presentation of findings. Your thesis statement must be announced (not just implied) in the introduction! Some issues that could be considered for closer examination are the artists’ reasons for stylistic choices, intended meaning, audience, idea, or message of works, or, perhaps, historical or socio/political circumstances of either the making or the reception of each work. Avoid a solely biographical approach! Papers considering geographic areas not discussed in this class, will not be accepted! To compare or contrast different media is very difficult, unless your research is strictly about context (not a good idea for an art history class), so compare architecture with architecture, sculpture with sculpture and so on. Start from the specific and make your way to generalizations. Begin with closely scrutinizing the specific works of your choice and find your argument from this direction. Do not write a general comparison or contrast! You must eventually come up with a specific focus or assertion (argument), formulated into a thesis statement of your own! Art History Asian RP/2 The initial topic statement must state your choice of subject matter and some of your reasons for choosing it. I will comment on your proposal in terms of “doability.” Your choice of subject matter (topic) can be changed as you go along after you handed one in. Working bibliography is a listing of all the sources you have found on the subject matter of your choice, even if you have not really read it yet. A tentative thesis statement is a possible conclusion of your comparing/contrasting effort, which will eventually become your thesis statement. PAPER FORMAT Your paper is to be about 6-8 pages long (not including your Bibliography), must be typed, double-spaced, 12 points, page margins one (1) inch all around. Papers written in any other format will not be accepted. Organize your observations and your findings into a coherent discussion containing an introduction, main body, and conclusion. In the introduction you describe work(s) to be discussed, state your thesis. In the main body of your paper develop th.
