You have had one semester in which to examine many works in a very broad survey of Western Art. You have seen much in class, and even more on your own as you have researched and completed seven assignments.
In short, compose a list of your personal top five (5) works of art from this semester, and describe why you have chosen these particular works in light of so many works we’ve viewed. Some questions to consider:
Why did these five make your list?
How did you arrive at your list?
Are they your favorites, or are they deserving of such honor despite not being actual personal favorites?
Did you see them in class, or in your own research, or both?
Were you familiar with any of these works prior to class?
By placing these works in their context, were you able to gain a new understanding of the works as representatives of a specific time, place and culture, thereby catching a glimpse of the past in a new and dare I say, profound way?
Be sure to fully identify your top five by title, date, and artist if known, and please cite sources, whether lectures, study guides, notes, textbook or other.
NO bullet points! Use complete sentences – this is not a formal research paper but you do have time to polish it before submitting a sloppy one-paragraph essay. To wit: each work merits a minimum of one paragraph, offering as much detail as possible. If one double-spaced typed page is approximately 250 words, I’d say this essay should aim for at least 750.
