Research Paper: Due Tuesday, August 29 at 9:00am

Prepare a research paper, five pages minimum (not including the bibliography), comparing two artists or art movements of your choice. Use either MLA or APA style for your citations and bibliography. The paper should be typed, double-spaced, spell-checked, font size 12, with 1 inch side and bottom margins, and a 1.5 inch top margin.

Your paper should use a minimum of five references and may include books, art encyclopedias, journal articles, and academically approved Internet sources. No more than two documents from Internet sources may be used. Photocopy the pages from the text sources which supply the information for your first five citations and attach them to your paper following the bibliography. On each photocopy, indicate the relevant original text with a highlighter or other similar means of identification. If used, Internet sources must be appropriately cited and full text of the source should be attached to the paper.
