FAS 202 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric Overview: Throughout this course, you have been practicing the skills you will need to produce your final comparative art analysis essay. In various discussion topic posts, you have learned to analyze formal qualities of works of art and to recognize common themes between visual works of art from different periods and styles. You have also learned to understand how these themes are expressed in contemporary culture. For Milestone One, you drafted the introduction for your essay. Prompt: For Milestone Two, you will compose a rough draft of Sections I–IV of the final project. Provide as many details as possible, addressing each of the following major headings: Introduction, Visual and Historical Analysis, and Comparative Analysis. In addition, address the Parallels section by introducing a third, contemporary work of art (created within the past 20 years) or social construct and explaining how that work parallels the relationship between the two pieces previously selected. This third work could belong to any genre of the arts or even a contemporary social construct such as reality television or social media. For example, you could consider the presentation of self as a relevant and recurring theme on Facebook today. Your conclusion (Section V) will not be included in this rough draft. You will add the conclusion to your final comparative art analysis essay. Apply the feedback you received for Milestone One to form a thorough introduction and compose a rough draft of Sections I–IV of your comparative art analysis essay. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Introduction This section of the comparative analysis will introduce readers to the works you have selected to analyze.

A. Identify each of the two selected works from the List of Comparisons. Include an image of the work and one paragraph that identifies the artist, title (in italics), date, medium, dimensions, stylistic movement, cultural origin, and current collection (i.e., Where the work is housed? This could be a museum, a gallery, or a private collection).

B. What is your main argument/thesis statement about the relationship between your selected works and their shared theme?

II. Visual and Historical Analysis This section will provide a visual and historical analysis of the physical characteristics in each work as well as the connections of each work to its historical and cultural context.

A. Explain how each of your two selected works reflects the social or cultural identity of its day. Support your response with examples. B. What influence have your two selected works had in the shaping of social or cultural identities? C. What influence have your two selected works had on a modern or contemporary expression of the identified shared theme? Support your

response with examples.

III. Comparative Analysis In this section, you will compare and contrast your two selected works.

A. What formal characteristics are similar between the two works? What characteristics are different? Be sure to reference specific aspects of each work.

B. How did each respective culture’s traditions and ideologies influence the two works you have selected? Be sure to use examples to support your response.

C. How does each work represent its particular social, historical, and cultural climate? Be sure to use examples to support your response.

IV. Parallels In this section, you will introduce a third creative work and explain how that work parallels the relationship between the two works previously selected.

A. How do the shared historical themes and settings tie your two previously selected works to the third, contemporary work or social construct? B. Discuss how the theme is still relevant today, using the third, contemporary work or social construct you selected to support your response.

Your overall submission should be professionally articulate. The Articulation of Response critical element does not correspond to a section of your paper. It speaks to how professionally and clearly you articulate your ideas. This includes proper formatting and citation of sources.

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your rough draft must be submitted as a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. It must be written in MLA format and should include at least four scholarly sources, cited in MLA format.
