I was planning on comparing/contrasting the Hetshapsut statue to the Kouros statue
Term Paper- Art in Western Civilization: Ancient to Medieval
Montclair State University
Spring 2015
1500 word paper (not including bibliography and footnotes)
Compare and Contrast 2 works of art
The student will pick 2 works of art from the Metropolitan Museum of Art galleries/collection. Students must keep their choices within the time frame that we are studying for this course, Ancient to Medieval. Based on personal observation of these 2 objects combined with some research about the chosen works the approximately 6 page double spaced paper must meet the following criteria:
Requirements
Must have a minimum of 3-4 references, including one reference from Jstor
Must use scholarly style footnotes and include bibliography (to be discussed in class)
Minimum 5 pages
*Bibliography does not count as a “page” within the paper.
Students are encouraged to include an illustration of one of the images
Important Criteria:
Identity: Who is the artist or is the artist unknown? What period or style is it?
What is the name of the artwork? To what culture does it belong? Of what material/medium is it made? What is its subject matter?
Style: How big is it? Does its medium affect the quality? What are its formal elements (line, color, composition, etc.?) http://ancient-greece.org/art/kouros.html
