Compare/Contrast: Rococo, Neoclassical, Romantic & Realism
The first writing assignment will be a compare/contrast between two or three (3) art objects or buildings that represent two or three of the artistic periods discussed so far this semester: Rococo, Neoclassical, Romantic and/or Realism.
For this paper, you will seek to create a connection between works from these different periods through the subjects they address and/or ideas and influences they respond to.
Note 1: for the 18th century portraiture lesson, you will find that some of these artists seem to lean toward the aesthetics of one of these major movements more so than others; you may use one of these portraits as an example of that period.
Note 2: You do not have to limit your selections to works covered in class, but the examples do need to represent the periods listed above.
