Each of the papers will be one to two pages long. We will go over what these items mean in class so don't worry if they sound unfamiliar now. The bulk of the paper follows. Undergraduates will write two of these short papers and graduate students will write four of them. Graduate students also have the option of doing a research paper in place of these shorter studies.
Half are due at midterm, the other half on the last day of class.
After identifying the print you will have a few minutes to write down what you know about the general significance of the work within the context of the history of printmaking. In other words, you will be responsible for prints that I have emphasized in class. You will get more credit for a good short answer without properly identifying the print than you will for a proper identification with a poor short answer. Do not just describe the prints. In both the short answer questions and the essay question the whole idea is to show me what you have learned this semester.
