A few questions to think about:

What was the main argument the author was trying to make?
Can you summarize the major points of the argument?
Is there a clear thesis statement? If so, where?
What is your general impression of the argument? Well written? Clear? Persuasive?
Were there any points that you found to be particularly insightful? Any that you found to be particularly problematic?
Does the author privilege evidence beneficial to their argument? If so where?
Do you perceive any biases in the writing? If so how and where? How do these biases affect the argument presented?

Introduction
You will write a persuasive 1000 word essay interpreting a work of art, preferably one you can see in person in a curated art museum. A work from the website of a curated art museum, or works from other sources are acceptable at the discretion of the instructor, if no other options are available.
In this essay you will make a claim about what the artwork means, and then detail what evidence from the artwork supports your interpretation. In making your case, you will utilize your knowledge of artistic media and techniques, your understanding of the broad themes in art, and your vocabulary concerning the elements and principles of artistic design.
The essay will be evaluated for academic honesty using the Turnitin software and you are expected to properly cite any paraphrasing or quotations of outside sources in MLA format.
The paper should include at least one image of the artwork being discussed. If the artwork is something not easily captured in a photograph, you should discuss how to represent it in the paper with the instructor.
This paper is a direct demonstration of CLOs 1, 3, and 5.

Students will write a 2-page essay that offers an analysis of a specific painting in their favorite painting medium.
There are two parts to this assignment. First, after reading the chapter on painting, identify your favorite medium in painting. In 1 to 2 paragraphs, briefly discuss how it differs from other mediums and the advantages and disadvantages of using that medium.
Next, you will select a painting in your preferred medium from an online museum to research and then discuss that painting as you would with others.
The lesson for this unit went into depth on three approaches you can take when discussing artwork: technical, historical, and observational. You will begin your paper with an introduction that includes identifying the approach you will take and why you chose that approach.
Then, discuss your selected painting and its visual elements using your chosen approach. Include two other artworks that are similar in style, era, or subject matter as your painting and discuss the similarities. Finally, end your discussion with a question for your audience.
The body of your essay must be at least three full pages of writing. It should be 12-point, Times New Roman font. Include an image of the painting you are discussing at the end of your written paper as Appendix A. The title page (if used), Appendix, and reference page do not count toward the minimum page requirement.
