An expository section which develops your observations in relation to the topic statement. A conclusion summing up how you were led to your topic statement, or focusing on some major aspect of the work which struck you as representative of the whole. This is a visual analysis paper that requires no outside research. It is your analysis of the art work. If you are at all unsure about what constitutes plagiarism, consult your syllabus, me, or the Learning Center's website.
Plagiarism is a serious offense and is a violation of the Honor Code.
Ideas used in your paper which are not your own must be credited to the proper sources in footnotes. Do not make slight alterations of sources which seem to remove the necessity for utilizing quotation marks and footnotes. In general, the visual analysis paper should not require any research but if you find it necessary, a good guide to footnoting is found in Barnet's A Short Guide to Writing About Art .
