Deciding which two images to pick? Here are some Basic guidelines to remember:
- The 2 works of art you compare & contrast must correlate with our curriculum
- Both pieces cannot be from the first half of the semester (before midterms)
- At least one piece MUST BE from the second half of the semester
Our course goes through the Early Renaissance, so remember that Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci are HIGH Renaissance masters and do NOT correlate with our curriculum. Please ask if you are unsure of your options.
Submit your final essay proposals here as PDF’s. Please post images of the works of art you’ve chosen directly in the discussion.
