Survey to Western Art HIstory 2

For this assignment you will write an analysis of an artwork of your choosing from the time period this covers (1300-present). You will need to be specific within the topic you choose. For instance, if you choose Pop Art, it will be hard to analyze the whole movement in a 1600 word paper, so find a piece that represents your topic interest and use comparisons that tie your thesis. You are required to use four sources ( books, journal, articles, or legitimate websites) as support for your argument. Three sections Introduction, Body, and Conclusion and title page and bibliography are NOT counted toward the 1600 word text of the paper.

Formal Analysis: Along with your contextual and historical analysis, you are required to provide a formal analysis of the artwork you have chosen. You should integrate this into your paper by describing how the formal elements and principals of design contribute to the work you are addressing.

You will also include an image of the work(s) you choose to write about. You will need to label the image(s) with the artists name, title of work, date and medium( if you want an image from my textbook, I can just send you one so you don’t have to look for a image yourself ).

Citation: You are required to use at least four book, peer reviewed journal articles or institutional websites as citation sources for this paper. Understand that encyclopedia, wiki, and/or art blogs as sources are not acceptable.
