Instructions for writing the Introduction Art Historical Critique Essay
The Art History Critique (AHC) process takes a deep look into an individual work of art. Each Critique begins with a work of art, which will be assigned by the instructor. The Art History Critique process involves analyzing different aspects of the work of art:
Description/Subject
Formal Analysis
Interpretation
Historical/Cultural Context.
Process: The instructor will provide students with work of art as a separate assignment in the course shell. Using the course resources and other scholarly sources, students will complete the sections of the AHC process as described below.
**PLEASE NOTE: Wikipedia entries and personal blogs are not a scholarly sources, but most Wikipedia entries do have bibliographies at the end that can be helpful. You are welcome to use your textbook and any information you find at www.smarthistory.com in crafting your response.**
Deliverable: You will write an essay in a Word document or PDF document that will be submitted in the Blackboard course shell. Google docs links and other formats will not be accepted. Your essay should be organized into well-developed paragraphs, using correct college- level grammar and punctuation. Each section must be a minimum of one cohesive paragraph, although you are not limited to this.
Use of sources: Information from the provided sources can be paraphrased or directly
quoted. Direct quotes should make up no more than 20% of the paper and must be in quotation marks. Cite the sources in MLA format in the text of the paper and in a Works Cited list at the end. If you are not sure what MLA is or how to cite quoted text, a quick internet search will be able to help you or you can contact the ECSU Library for some assistance.
