2-3 pages, double spaced. The more you write, the more information you provide, the better grade. Complete sentences necessary, even in the short sections.
These reports require outside research and a bibliography and in-text citations.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Your report should begin with the following items in bulleted form single spaced at the beginning of your report.
- Name of item and type of item (e.g., the Ara Pacis, marble altar)
- Date made or created
- Artist or architect or sponsor or commissioner (or at least who was in charge the year this was made)
- Provenance–place where it came from
- Place where item is now (if in a museum, you need collection information; if in situ, say so)
Then, write a formal analysis of your piece. Consider questions such as: What is the piece about? What exactly does it look like? What’s going on it? Describe it, fully. You must also address questions such as its function, and, finally, its significance. For example, what does it tell us about the women of this world and era? How does it relate to what we’ve already learned? What can it add? Why is it important?
Include a bibliography. You cannot use encyclopedias—they are not scholarly. Your sources must be scholarly—no encyclopedias, no websites that are pseudo scholarly (eg, National Geographic, Smithsonian, etc), and must be properly cited (Chicago style or APA or MLA, as long as you are consistent in which form you choose).
