You will personally observe, research, and analyze one painting, sculpture, or a work of architecture from an approved museum such as the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology or the Philadelphia Museum of Art and write a formal research paper of a minimum of five to eight pages or more of text.

You must stay within the chapters covered during the semester, that is, find a work of art within the time frame from the Paleolithic Period up to the Late Gothic and not beyond (25,000 BCE up to 1300 CE). Write only on a subject you have studied in this class. If you have any doubts about this assignment, please contact your instructor. Choosing an artwork from the wrong era will result in a zero grade.

Policy: Visiting a local museum in person is a required activity for this course. Ignoring this requirement and submiting a paper on an artwork taken from your textbook or the internet will result in an automatic zero grade for this assignment.

Refer to the Guidelines document for complete instructions.
