The Papers

The Lovely 5-page [sic] Paper

This paper, as described in class, is to be on one of the early 16th-century portraits we discussed in class. You may also choose one we did not look at, but it needs to date to about the period 1500-1525 and be from one of the artists from the general group of Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, Titian, Sebastiano del Piombo, or Palma Vecchio. You will run across others, but it will do you the most good to pick a relatively well-known painting.

Note that students who are asking for Writing Credit need to produce a finished paper of at least 7 (seven) pages.

The paper needs to be written in the standard semi-research style. Yes, you will need to use footnotes. Also:

• You will need to have a cover page.
• Write on one side of the paper only.
• Pages need to be numbered.
• Type font is to be no bigger than 12 point.
• No skipping lines between paragraphs.
• No more than double spacing of the lines.
• No extensive quotes.
• Do not use unsigned articles or sources.
• Do not use Wilkipedia.
• You may use footnotes or endnotes, but NO in-text citations. I don't care who told you it is permitted-- it is not permitted with me.
• Here is a link to another course page with even more detailed information about how to set up the paper (from "Footnotes, Endnotes, Books and Articles: Why and How").
• I am going to be looking for how you use sources and how you construct your arguments.
• Feel free to ask questions!
• Due: March 20
