The student must write a 2-page research paper in MLA format focusing on one of eight listed artists from chapters 7 or 8 of the course text. The paper must include a biography of the artist, the art movement they were associated with, what art critics say about the artist's work, and the student's personal thoughts and conclusions about a piece by that artist. It must also include at least 3 scholarly references in addition to the course textbooks and Bible and follow guidelines for formatting elements like the title page. Proper spelling, grammar, and structure are important.
