How do the sculptures’ materials, sizes, and forms suggest the spatial context in which they were originally situated and worshipped? How might the figures’ postures, facial features and other motifs suggest possible connection to indigenous and imported cultures? How do they compare to one another? How may these characteristics relate to their cultural and historical contexts?</p><p><strong>Thesis</strong></p><p>Your essay should advance one central argument (i.e., a thesis) by providing supporting visual and historical evidence. In other words, you should not simply answer each of the above questions; instead, you may wish to answer one or more of them in an effort to defend your claim about the objects.</p><p><strong>Formatting guidelines:</strong></p><p>The paper should be 4-5 double-spaced, numbered pages in 12-point Times New Roman. Be sure to use one-inch margins. If your analysis involves specific images and/details, please label each one with (fig. X)/(figs. X-X) in your writing, and attach the corresponding picture(s) at the end of your paper.</p><p><strong>Citation guidelines:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong>When incorporating ideas from a book or article, write its full citation (author's name, the title of the article and/book/journal, publisher, year, page number) in your footnotes and bibliography. Both Chicago Manual of Style and MLA Style Manual are acceptable formats as long as you maintain a consistent citation style throughout your paper. Avoid making direct quotes unless necessary; paraphrase instead. If you have cited more than three exact words from a source, place them in quotation marks.</p><p>If you choose to incorporate information from the museum’s wall text, be sure to acknowledge the gallery’s label as a source in your footnotes/bibliography.
