Write a 600 word essay that address the following:
Paragraph 1 (Introduction): Introduce your topic. Provide a brief description of each of the works you’re writing about. (For example, The Woman of Willendorf is a small limestone figurine of a woman made during the Paleolithic period, while The Peplos Kore is a larger marble statue, also of a woman, made during the Archaic period of ancient Greece. Both of these works share similar subject matter, materials, and techniques; however, their styles are completely different.)
Paragraph 2 (Subject Matter): (This does NOT apply to architecture.) Are there figures in the work? Do you know who they are? Are they kings or regular people? Does the work show a landscape? Are the subjects similar? Wildly different?
Paragraph 3 (Materials and Techniques Used): (This paragraph is NOT about style.) What were the works made of? How were they made (e.g., repoussé, lost wax casting, post-and-lintel, subtractive, corbel dome)? Are the two works similar or different?
Paragraph 4 (Function): What were the works used for? Was it for propaganda, religion, burial? Do they share similar functions? It is possible for a work to have more than one function.
Paragraph 5 (Style): Are the works naturalistic? Stylized? Do they share similar styles? Describe the styles and compare them.
Paragraph 6 (Optional): Other comments might include observations about dimensions, locations, or any other information that doesn’t quite fit in the categories above that you’d like to mention.
Paragraph 7 (Conclusion): What have you learned from your examination?
What Not to Do:
Do NOT write separate paragraphs about each work. You’re meant to COMPARE the traits, not just make two separate descriptions.
Use your own brain, notes, and text. Do NOT do outside research; it is not necessary.
