Research Paper

OVERVIEW:

In-depth research will increase students' knowledge in a specific area

WEEKLY OBJECTIVES: Students will research an art related topic of interest in the field focusing on a style, artist, time period, technique or single piece of art. Feel free to choose an artist or time period that we discussed in the course, but DO NOT choose a piece of art that you have already discussed in the course. This needs to be new material.

READING and REASEARCH: You should have 3-4 sources. You may use Wikipedia as an idea for source material, but it should not be a source. The information posted there is not reliable. Please utilize the library and online data search engines to find reliable source material. Each source must have at least one intext citation in the paper to receive credit for the source. All sources need to be placed on a Bibliography page at the end of the paper. Please make sure to check for proper formatting of citations and bibliography.
