The Content:
Writing assignment #2 starts you thinking about the context of your object. What is happening in the time period in which your object was produced? What are the priorities of its culture? How does your object intersect with larger cultural conversations in its form and content?
Your paper should have multiple paragraphs, with clear topic sentences and with polished writing. Your first paragraph should include a list of questions that your object raises about its context. The succeeding paragraphs should address the readings you have done, gathering details about the context that might be brought to bear on your analysis of your object. Your final paragraph should propose a possible argument about how the form and content of your object might relate to its context. You’ll refine that idea to use for your final paper at the end of the semester.
Your bibliography must include at least 5 scholarly sources, documented with correct Chicago Manual of Style formatting (Notes and Bibliography). You must include at least one book and one scholarly article, and at least one of your references must deal with history only, not art history specifically.
Read and take notes on your sources, but be careful to synthesize and note where you are quoting directly. Be careful to distinguish your ideas and words from that of your sources. Do not plagiarize. Instances of plagiarism will be brought forward to the academic honesty council.
Documentation
When you use ideas or quotations from your secondary sources, you must insert a footnote. Follow the Chicago Manual of Style for including the bibliographic reference.
