Overview
find 2 artworks and write 1 page per each. The total size of the paper in MLA style will have to be 2 pages.
You may select any painting, sculpture, building, or graphic/decorative object that you wish so long as it falls within the scope of the course (mid-19th century through 1970) and is linked to the theme of love. Please also be sure to include an image of each selection along with your finished project. After making your choices, provide a detailed and thoughtful rationale for each selection in the form of a few short paragraphs. The best answers will consider issues related to style, form, subject, context, symbolism, medium/material, and reception, as well as include personal insight and opinion. Don't be afraid to really capitalize on the creative component of your project. You should blend your own opinion and hard evidence (in support of these opinions) on the topic of "modernity." (This is where the mix of personal insight and scholarship comes in.) Above all else, though, have fun—be thorough and critical, but don't make this project out to be more difficult than it really is.
