Expectations For The Research Paper

You are expected in this class to complete one five-page research paper on a particular artist, group of artists, period, or media of your choice. This paper is due April 16. Here are the expectations for that paper:

1. A title page (title of the research paper, your name, the class title, my name, and the date).

2. FIVE pages of text (12-point font, double spaced, 1-inch margins).

3. At least THREE sources (books, magazines, websites), but no more than ONE of them may be an Internet source.

4. A bibliography page.

Instructions:

As mentioned above, you should choose as the topic of your research a particular artist (Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, etc.) or a group of artists (the Impressionists, the Futurists, etc.) or a period of art (the Renaissance, the Romantic Era, etc.) or a particular medium (painting, sculpture, etc.).

Next, go to the library and search online for information about your chosen topic. Find historical, biographical, and technical information you want to include in your paper. Whatever sources you choose must be sited in your bibliography at the end of the paper.

I will make another post at a later time giving you the format for siting works in a bibliography.

Now, write your paper (5 pages) and DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! Look for ways to relate what you are writing about to the things we have learned in class.

Sufficient grammar and spelling. It needs to be readable.

The sooner you get this paper out of the way, the better.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.
