Archibald Motley
Term Paper Outline
In last week's module you discussed your final paper ideas. In that proposal selected an American modern artist(s) and your thesis. This week, you will use the feedback from your classmates and me to narrow and refine your topic, as well as put together a short outline. You will need to do some preliminary research on your thesis to determine your supporting topics.
To write a thesis, state your purpose for the paper. Remember that this should be an idea, an opinion or even an exploratory perspective. This is NOT an overview of a movement, or a biography of an artist’s life! Accordingly, your purpose/thesis and supporting topics should not be given factual information.
