Last Summer Assignment!

Hello!

This is the last summer assignment and will be turned in on paper on Thursday, September 2nd in class.

Read Chapter 5 in "Writing about Art" about Writing a Comparison

Write a comparison between:

• Raphael, The Deposition of Christ, Gospels Page 327

• Caravaggio, Deposition in the Sepulchre, Gospels Page 328

Some Notes:

• You may use "splitting" or "lumping" as described in Barnet.
• You should use primarily formal analysis.
• Describing the artists/periods is key in this comparison. This will help you comprehend the differences in the formal elements of these two works. Do some research.
  
• Pay attention to the annotation throughout the sample essay.

Email me any questions. Good luck and congratulations for sticking it out this summer! See you all soon :)

Sincerely,
Mr. Clarke
