The essay for this course is a paper with cited research on a topic/project as specified by the instructor.

During the duration of this course, you will need to visit a museum in person or online. Writing about art is not so very different from writing about other subjects, however, writing about art tends to be more descriptive and uses art terminology. Art is a visual experience, and you cannot write meaningfully about it without describing what you see. During your museum visit, choose two very different works of art that were created during two different periods that we are studying this semester. I encourage choosing artwork and periods that interest you because it will be easier to write about. As you observe the two works, take notes concerning their likenesses and differences. This paper is the comparison and contrast of two works of art that you have chosen, using the notes, that you took at the museum, vocabulary from this course, and at least 4 outside sources. Reflecting on your art journals may help you decide what periods to investigate.

The details:

• The paper should be 4-5 typed pages, MLA format, double-spaced, one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12pt font, left justified, with one-inch margins.
• In addition to the written essay, include one (1) page of artwork images (the two artworks) that you discussed. Be sure to properly label the images. This page is in addition to the pages of text.
• Include one page of works cited. This page is in addition to the text
• Also include a cover page that has the essay title, your name, date, and course number. This page is in addition to the pages of text.
• At a minimum, your essay will be 7 pages in total (1 cover page, 4-5 pages of text, 1 page of art images, 1 page of works cited.

What to include in your essay:

• A biography of the artist (if available) and the time period that the artwork was created
• Why do you think that this is an important artwork to be studied
• Explain the concepts behind the work and how the work illustrates those concepts using art terms
• Comparison and contrast between the two artworks beyond the surface-level glance of the artwork
• An opening paragraph with a thesis statement
• A conclusion paragraph
• At least 4 academic sources

3) Art News: Watch four videos (~17 minutes total) about the art investment, auction, and trade scene. Write a paper using the prompts provided here:

Modern-Day Policing, Society, and the Future of Law Enforcement

By abc

Policing plays a vital role in maintaining peace, protecting citizens, and enforcing laws within society. Over the years, law enforcement has changed significantly due to advancements in technology, changes in social values, and growing public expectations. Modern-day policing is no longer limited to controlling crime; it also focuses on building trust, ensuring justice, and working closely with communities.

In todays society, police officers face many challenges such as cybercrime, terrorism, drug trafficking, and increasing public scrutiny. The rise of social media has made law enforcement more transparent, as citizens can now instantly record and share incidents. While this transparency promotes accountability, it also increases pressure on officers to act responsibly and ethically at all times.

Community policing has become one of the most important approaches in modern law enforcement. This strategy encourages cooperation between police officers and local communities to prevent crime and solve social issues together. Strong communication and mutual trust help create safer neighborhoods and improve relationships between citizens and law enforcement agencies.

Technology has also transformed policing in many ways. Surveillance cameras, body cameras, artificial intelligence, digital databases, and forensic science help officers investigate crimes more effectively. However, the use of advanced technology raises concerns about privacy, data protection, and misuse of power. Therefore, balancing security with individual rights remains a major challenge for modern societies.

The future of law enforcement will likely depend on innovation, education, and public trust. Police departments may increasingly rely on data analysis, mental health training, and non-violent conflict resolution techniques. Future officers will need not only physical strength but also communication skills, cultural understanding, and emotional intelligence.

In conclusion, modern-day policing is continuously evolving to meet the changing needs of society. Law enforcement agencies must adapt to new challenges while maintaining fairness, accountability, and respect for human rights. A safer and more just future can only be achieved when police and communities work together with trust, responsibility, and mutual understanding.

For this assignment, you will create a cross-cultural timeline that illustrates how various cultures art and architecture overlap chronologically in ways that traditional art history has not always recognized.

NOTE: This must be formatted in chronological order along a timeline with dates. Do NOT submit a slideshow with just one or two artworks per slide. The point is to see these things along a continuous timeline to show their chronological relationship with one another.

Make a timeline that spans a period of at least 1,000 years. You must place at least TEN different works of art or architecture from at least SIX different cultures or countries (three European and three Non-European). Choose from the artworks and architecture we have seen in lectures or readings. You may choose from the following cultures:

• European:
  • Prehistoric
  • Ancient Greece
  • Ancient Rome
  • Medieval
  • Renaissance/Mannerism
  • Baroque/Rococo
  • Neoclassicism/Romanticism
  • Modern (Realism to Pop Art)
  • Contemporary (ca 1960 to present day)
• Non-European:
  • Ancient Mesopotamian
  • Ancient Egyptian
  • India
  • China
  • Japan
  • South America
  • Mesoamerica
  • North America
  • Africa

For each entry on your timeline, you must include an image of the artwork/architecture and the following information (if available): title, artist, culture/location of origin, date, and medium. You may create your timeline using a number of different methods (see example below). You can draw and color your timeline on unlined paper and turn it in during class (note that just pencil drawings on notebook paper will not be accepted – you must use color and have images). – OR – You can design the timeline digitally using Photoshop, Procreate, PowerPoint, Prezi, Canva, or another computer program or template and submit it on iLearn as JPEG or PDF.

Cross-Cultural Timeline Example: see documents

Perfect for landscapes, botanical sketches, or art inspired by the natural world

Subject comparison: this essay specifically involves a comparison between two works that deal with the same subject or similar subjects. Much of this essay will be based on your ability to identify the visual differences between the examples you choose, but the essay should include more than your observations. Choose works with distinct similarities, but they may have differing content, media, and/or style.

Remember one important thing when writing a comparative essay: The objective is not to list the similarities and differences between two works but, rather, to reveal, through the comparison, important features and traits of either or both works that would otherwise be lost or obscure. More to the point, the comparison must have a point. Your essay should have a thesis.

1. Make your selections from the Living with Art text on these two assumptions: The works to be compared are alike in at least one way.
The works to be compared are different in at least one way. This may be loosely interpreted, but if you have questions on whether or not an idea/comparison is too far fetched or doesn’t meet requirements reach out to me and we can discuss it!

2. Establish what are the similarities and differences in these two works. There are many, factors that could be considered, here is list of the major ones that are important for comparison. Just remember you dont need to compare everything.

Identity

• Who is the artist or is the artist unknown?
• Are both works by the same artist? If so, were they made at different times in the artistscareer?
• Are you comparing works by different artists, perhaps on the same subject?
• What period or style is it?
• What is the name of the artwork?
• To what culture does it belong?
• Of what material/medium is it made?
• What is its subject matter?

Style

• How big is it? Does its medium affect the quality?
• What are its formal elements (line, color, composition, etc.)?
• Is it abstract, naturalistic, idealistic, realistic, or a combination?
• How is the subject being depicted?
• What is the origin of the style? – Is it a combination of cultural styles?

Function/Symbolism (Often relates to cultural context)

• What was it used for? Why was it made?
• It is sacred or secular?
• Does it communicate a message? Is it asking for something?
• Does it contain symbolism? What does it mean?Cultural Context (Research the historical context of each piece of art. In order to adequately understand any work of art you must understand the circumstances under which it was produced.)

• What was happening historically, politically, socially, religiously, intellectually, and/or economically at the time it was made?
• What were qualities of life at the time and place the piece was made that may have affected its function and style?
• Do historical events or overall aesthetic tastes relate to the image/story depict

Required minimum word count = 1200 words, EXCLUDING: your name, a header if you use one, any footnotes or endnotes, if you need to use them. Your essay must not exceed 1700 words.

Reproductions of the key art works discussed in your essay should be included on a cover page for your essay. The end of your paper should contain citations for these images as well as any other works consulted. Number each picture and refer to the number in your essay. For example: In Leonardos painting, the Mona Lisa (figure 1), we see ….. If you can’t find a good image beyond the one in our book take a picture of the artwork in your book with your phone.

Some of the questions may be possible to answer based on using the textbook and notes from class. If you want or need to do additional research, you must use books, essays, and/or journal articles from a reputable source. The Museum of Modern Arts website is a reputable source, someguyswebsite.com is not. You may use Wikipedia to find other sources on your artist, but it cannot be cited as the source of any information used in your paper. Any ideas you take from the references you use should be documented, using the MLA or Chicago style of documentation. This includes material you take from the textbook and/or class lectures.

After writing a draft, edit your paper for content, accuracy, logic; does it hold up under scrutiny? Then edit for style: clarity, economy of language, avoidance of repetition and empty phrases, correct syntax, spelling, and use of words.

A good way to begin editing is to read your paper aloud to a friend. Does your audience get the point early; follow the argument; understand the method or study and the manner of organizing the material? Is your concluding paragraph conclusive without being repetitive? Does the audience seem interested? Does the language feel natural to you?

Be prepared to edit for clarity and precision and rewrite some sections several times. A short paper is harder to write than a long, rambling one. Proofread your paper and then check the final draft for proofreading errors, misspellings, and misuse of words (spell-check is not enough), forgotten endnotes, misplaced pages. A sloppy result indicates careless preparation and cannot earn a top grade. It will count against you heavily in your grade if your paper is full of typos or mistakes in spelling and

grammar. Do not solely rely on your computer spell-check to proofread your paper for you. It cannot tell the difference in usage between ‘it’s’ and ‘its’, for instance.

Some Additional Notes

Purdue owl is a great source of information on citations for different kinds of media.

When you first mention a work, indicate its date and present location immediately after the title. This is sometimes essential for clarity: for example, Cezanne’s Mont Sainte-Victoire (1904-06, Philadelphia Museum of Art) is one of many paintings of this landmark near the artist’s home in Aix-en-Provence.

When you first mention an artist, give his or her full name; afterwards, it is appropriate to use the last name alone – e.g. “Gauguin” or “Nevelson”; not “Mr. Rauschenberg,” but also not “Pablo,” “Georgia,” or “Jackson.”
