Analytical and Critical Responses

Please select from one of the following 2 options to write a short essay.  Essays must meet a minimum of 250-350 words.  If you are paraphrasing from the textbook, make sure to use a citation at the end of the sentence, ex. (Kleiner, p. – ). Paraphrasing is fine, but do not quote directly from the textbook. These essays are analytical and critical responses.  You should not say “I” or give opinions. Option #1: Contrast the differences in the paintings by Baroque artists from Italy and Spain versus those from Northern Europe. What features unite them all under the term Baroque? Select at least 3 examples.   OR   Option #2: Compare and contrast Rococo and Neoclassical art in terms of subject matter and style. You must discuss at least one example from each style. (You can compare sculpture to sculpture, painting to painting, or building to building. If discussing architecture, make sure to consider appearance, form, and function.)
