FAH205 Art in Antiquity. ROM VISUAL ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENT

Only do part 1 !!!!!! Outline + Bibliography
must choose an artifact from the collection of Greco-Roman antiquities at the Royal Ontario Museum for analysis. Students can view some of these artifacts via:
ROM Images website, http://images(dot)rom(dot)on(dot)ca : search via subject, collection area, or image category.
Step 1: The Outline.
The outline must demonstrate that you have begun to plan your report; it should outline the structure and argument of your report.
• The outline can be written in full sentences or bullet points, with headings and subheadings, according to the following format: introduction (what is your thesis?), body paragraphs, and conclusion.
• The outline should start to reveal the answers to the 5Ws (see VISUAL ANALYSIS, below, p. 4),
• You can ask questions or raise concerns in your outline.
Step 2: The Annotated Bibliography.
The annotated bibliography must demonstrate that you have begun to research your artifact; in addition to bibliographic data, an annotated bibliography provides a concise summary of each source and some assessment of its value or relevance.
• Each annotation must briefly state the main argument of a source. An annotation of an academic source, for example, typically identifies its thesis (or research question, or hypothesis), its major methods of investigation, and its main conclusions. Keep in mind that identifying the argument of a source is different from describing or listing its contents.
• Each annotation should also briefly assess the value of the source to an investigation of your research question or topic. Keep in mind models for assessing arguments in the discipline of art history.
