PROOFREAD. GRADING CRITERIA (5 Categories): o PROJECT/THESIS: o You should express your own ideas about the assigned works (have a thesis/argument), and must use visual evidence, as well as information from your sources, to develop and support your claim. o **Define your project in a clear thesis statement in your introduction. o VISUAL ANALYSIS: o You should carefully visually analyze, and both compare and contrast the works. o Papers must put the works of art into a conversation with one another, and analyze them with regards to the thesis put forth in the introductory paragraph. o The paper should not be just visual analysis of two works, first one, then another. o Close and careful visual analysis must be used to support the author’s thesis. o WORKING WITH SOURCES: o Choose only relevant quotations and information from the textbook, museum label and at least 2 additional print sources. o Use direct quotations sparingly. o Do not drop in quotes without analyzing them or using them to argue your point. You must make the connections. ! Explain the connections between any direct quotations and your argument o You must cite your sources whenever you use them, even if you are paraphrasing (putting the information in your own words). If you do not, it is plagiarism. o See “Information and Sources” below, as well as the Citation Guide. 3 o ORGANIZATION: o Your paragraphs should all work together in support of your project/thesis. o Each paragraph should express /explore a central claim presented in a topic sentence. o The paragraphs should connect logically to each other, and to your larger project. o PRESENTATION: o Make sure your ideas, sentences, and paragraphs are clear, and your spelling and grammar are correct. o Follow the paper formatting guidelines above or you will be penalized. o Proofread carefully. o Check your work before submission to make sure there have been no formatting errors when printing. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SOURCES/CITATIONS AND PLAGIARISM: o All work must be in your own words (quotes excepted), and must be cited and documented appropriately. o Any time you rely on information from outside sources—whether you are quoting it directly or paraphrasing—YOU MUST CITE IT! o If you do not do so, this is PLAGIARISM (for which you must be reported to the Institute). o It does not need to be a direct quotation to need to be cited. o The use of the ideas of others or information gathered from a source, even if put into your own words, is plagiarism if you do not give proper attribution by citing. o If you do not understand how to do this, it is your responsibility to ask. o For a good resource on what constitutes plagiarism and how to avoid it see: o http://www(dot)plagiarism(dot)org/plagiarism-101/what-is-plagiarism o Your paper must include at least 5 citations in the form of footnotes. o Citations must include the specific page number you are referencing. o Your paper must use and cite at least 2 scholarly print sources. o These must be scholarly books or articles/essays, not websites, newspapers or general textbooks. o You cannot use websites except for the Metropolitan Museum website(s). o You can, however, download and use PDFs of scholarly articles (these are print sources) from resources like JSTOR (available through the library). o To find sources, start by checking the object pages for your works on the Met website. Good sources can often be found under the headings “references” and “Metpublications,” the later of which usually has links to freely available PDFs of books or articles that discuss the work. o In addition to the 2+ sources you can use the course textbook, the Metropolitan Museum website and Met Museum wall texts. o Wall text can be cited as follows: [note number] Wall text, Work Title, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY. o For more information on how to properly cite sources: o See Citation Guide and http://www(dot)chicagomanualofstyle(dot)org/tools_citationguide.html 4 ORGANIZATION AND CONTENT OF THE PAPER: INTRODUCTION: o In the first paragraph introduce your choices of works of art (see list below). o Provide artists’ names (if relevant), and the works’ titles, dates, sizes, mediums, and subjects. o Explain clearly what will be the theme of your comparison. Have a thesis statement. o Note that titles of paintings must be italicized (not put in quotation marks): o For ex: The Mona Lisa not The “Mona Lisa.” BODY PARAGRAPHS: o In the following paragraphs (body paragraphs) make sure that the first sentence of each paragraph is a topic sentence that explains the subject of the paragraph and introduces it, and that all other sentences in the paragraph relate to that central issue. o If they do not, then they belong in another paragraph. Consider the following issues (not all are applicable to all works): o Think about the subject matter and discuss as relevant. o What does the medium tell us? o Does size tell us anything? o How is anatomy handled and poses employed? Describe the anatomy, poses and drapery. o If a statue, does it have one or several major viewpoints? o Which views appear to be the sculptor's primary focus? o If it is a relief, how is the scene composed? How is the background treated? o In painting think about figural arrangement and relationship to space. o Is a third dimension created? How? Is perspective being used? o In sculpture think about surface treatment: o drapery, patterns, texture, and overall relationship to the body, as applicable. o In painting think about drawing, color techniques, light and visual effects. o Think about if the works are naturalistic/ idealized/ abstract(ed). o What is the effect of each work? o What purpose/function did it serve? o How does each of these works reflect its respective creating culture? Be specific. o What can you notice only in person? Look at surface / medium / changes over time. o Indicate restorations and missing parts, as applicable. o Think about how they impact the work. o Analyze the works, do not write about your feelings about them. This essay is not about whether you like or dislike each work. CONCLUSION: o Conclude your paper with a final paragraph (conclusion) that clearly summarizes your findings and arguments. 5 A Few Do's and Do Nots: Do: o Take detailed notes at the museum to enable you to do the assignment. Remember you need to look closely at the works in person to properly do the assignment. o Be clear and concise in your writing. o Proofread carefully! I advise reading your paper out loud to more easily find mistakes. Do Not: o Include general comments about why you chose the set of works. o Jump randomly from one point to another. o Write long, meandering paragraphs with no organizing point. o Just describe each of the works. You must also analyze them and bring the works into a conversation with each other. o Use contractions (don't, can't, etc.)—These are not appropriate for a formal paper.

ADMISSION: The $12 Student fee is OPTIONAL as you are current residents of NY. You should bring your ID to prove this, and state that you are NY state students. I suggest that you pay a little something ($1-$5) to keep the museum running (they are in bad financial shape), but do not feel obliged to pay the $12 fee. **When we go as a group, Pratt pays, so do not purchase tickets** 6 CHOOSE ONE SET OF WORKS AS YOUR TOPIC: Think about themes/connections when you consider each set of works. If you have trouble finding the works, please ask the museum employees for assistance. IMPORTANT: If you pick a work from a period about which we have not yet learned in class, make sure you read the relevant textbook chapter(s) before writing your paper, so that you understand and can discuss the key issues about the styles and periods you are considering. ___________________________________________________________________________ 1A Hatshepsut in a Devotional Attitude (28.3.18) Gallery 115 Egyptian Art, Dynasty 18, Ca. 1473-1458 BCE, Granite 1B Marble Statue of a Kouros (youth) (32.11.1) Gallery 154 Archaic Greek Art, ca. 590–580 BCE, Marble ___________________________________________________________________________ 2A Marble Statue of a Kore (Maiden) (07.306) Gallery 154 Archaic Greek Art, late 6th C.
