AH 51 Medieval Art;Comparisons

Since art has a history, comparisons are useful in illuminating the relationship
between two apparently dissimilar objects. In this paper, your goal is to highlight
that relationship while acknowledging the major differences that also distinguish
those objects from one another.
Choose either the Group A questions or the Group B questions. For each question
in your selected group, write 2-3 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font, with l-inch
margins. At the end of your paper, attach a copy of your compared images (black
and white is acceptable) with a full identification (title, period/culture, date,
patron [if known], and location [if in situ]) in a caption underneath.
In formulating your answers, consider the formal, functional, and/ or historical
elements that unite or distinguish these images from one another. What might
account for those similarities and differences? Before you write, it may be helpful
to list or outline your ideas as you look for these relationships and distinctions.
With that information, devise a thesis statement that clearly articulates the basis
for the comparison. Then support your thesis with specific examples from your
list. There are two approaches to comparisons-either each paragraph compares
and contrasts the objects point by point, such as: “considering the plans, building
A exhibits a central plan, while building B has an axial plan,” OR, a paragraph on
building A (“building A has x, y, and 2”) followed by a paragraph on building B,
(“in contrast, building B has x, y, and 2”). It is up to you, but often the first
method, the thematic comparison, makes for a stronger paper.
Due date: Tuesday, October 28, in lecture in hard copy AND on Turnitin prior to
the start of lecture (best to access this from MyUCLA). No late papers accepted.
Your paper is considered late if one of the two formats (hard copy or digital)
is not turned in by the due date.
