Assignment
This is not an opinion paper, so you should stay away from using "I."
2-3 pages in length
First, I want you to look at your piece from University of Pennsylvania's Museum.https://www.penn.museum/exhibitions/special-exhibitions/sacred-spaces
Before you do any research, just look at it.Using the information on the plaque AND what you see, describe the piece for me.You should use art historical terms that we have learned in class.(Paleolithic, Neolithic), This is where yougive me all the basic information. The first portion of the paper is DESCRIPTIVE.This means that you are going to describe the work of art mentioned in your proposal to your audience so that they can "see" what you are looking at. This alsomeans that you should have little to no background information in the paper. Forexample, I do not want to know who made it or the history of the object or thehistory of the subject. I simply want you to visually discuss the object in front ofyou. I do expect that you will use vocabulary that you have learned in class, or that you would find in the book if you write about something we have not yet covered.
Here is a list of questions that you can use to help create your paper. These are only a guide and do not have to be answered!
• What kind of object is it? Sculpture? Relief? Painting?
• How large is the object? Exact measurements or general guess, i.e. lifesize.
• What is it made of?
• Is it realistic? Believable? Factual? Idealized?
• How many figures are there?
• What are the figures doing?
• Use what you've already learned to talk about the work of art. Does it fit your notion of what something from that time period or place should looklike? Why or why not?
At the end of the paper, identify a work of art from your textbook that might makefor a good comparison to your museum object.
