The large middle panel is a theme park of sin with nude figures
enjoying the sins of the flesh. The figures in all three panels are
allegories and examples of old sayings about sin. The colors of the first
two panels are soft greens, blues, and pinks. The right hand panel is
about hell and the penalty humans will pay for sins. The landscape of
hell influenced the later Surrealist painters like Salvadore Dali.
3. Venus de Milo, marble, Hellenistic Greek sculpture
This famous nude female sculpture combines the serene look of the
goddess of beauty combined with the twisted elongated torso of later
Hellenistic art. Traditionally females mortals and goddesses were
not shown nude, but Hellenistic artists wanted to show their mastery of
the body and their skill in manipulating it in more exciting forms. The
drapery of her lower body falls in expressive folds that reveal the body
beneath. There is a sense of motion throughout as well as beauty. The
arms have long been missing but incompleteness is not crucial in
Greek sculpture as it is so rare and beautiful.
20% Object paper: This is a research paper on a subject chosen by
you and approved by me. We will discuss this paper at length in class
closer to the due date. THERE IS A SAMPLE OBJECT PAPER ABOUT
MONET AT THE END OF THIS SYLLABUS
Format: 6 pages not including a title page (your first counted page
will begin at the top with a full sentence), Times New Roman,12 point
font, one inch margins, double spaced.
Sources: You must have at least 3 sources (may include articles
retrieved from JSTOR) in addition to Wiki and general internet
articles. Try the UNH library for books and go to the Grove Dictionary of
Art and JSTOR (both available on blackboard under Library and
Electronic Databases.)
Content: Your paper should include a careful visual analysis of your
chosen work, an account of the cultural and artistic background of the
work, and hopefully a comparison with a related work.
Format: 2-1/2 (two and a half) page minimum length not including
separate titlepage, Times New Roman,12 point font, one inch margins, double
spaced.
Content: Identify the work with information found on the wall label.
Write a careful visual analysis of the sort we will have done in class.
What is the most important feature of the image and where does it
appear? How does the artist set up the composition and use color to
convey his/her content? Line? How does your eye move around the
image? Does the artist succeed in creating a compelling work of art?
What is your response? If its a sculpture then talk about negative and
positive space and how the sculpture fills its space. What surface
qualities does it have and how does the light play with it? What about
scale? Line? How are you supposed to approach it and navigate it?
Does it work successfully?
10% Museum Visit and Paper: You have to visit the Museum of Fine
Arts in Boston. Admission is free with your UNH ID and the
cheapest way to get there is via public transportation via C&J bus(ends
at South Station) or the train from the UNH Durham train station (to
North Station). From either Station you take the T ($3 or so for a pass)
to Park Street and then a train that runs past Northeastern U. and then
the next stop is the MFA. There is parking at the MFA but you get no
break in the fee so take the T! This trip should run you about $30. I
considered this fee when planning the book list for this class. I know
budgets can be tight! Please plan in advance. You can be assured that
your schedules will become very hectic later in the semester and this is
not an excuse for not going.
I PLAN TO CHARTER A BUS FOR US DURING THE TERM. PLEASE TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY AS IT WILL BE THE CHEAPEST AND
EASIEST WAY TO SEE THE BOSTON MFA!
You need to attach your admission ticket to your paper. Please also
bring along your camera/phone as you MUST include a photo of you
standing beside your four chosen objects, one from each designated
category. I dont care how quirky the photos are. No pictures outside
the museum required. DO NOT RELY ON IMAGES DOWNLOADED FROM
THE MFA WEBSITE. Try to have a good time. Get food! Visit the gift
shop! Go elsewhere in Boston and send recommendations to the class
to improve your classmates trips. There are other museums in the
area which you could visit and write up for extra credit. See me about
this.

Content:
Choose your favorite object and one comparison object from each of
these categories:
CATEGORY 1: Ancient Egypt and the Ancient Near East.
CATEGORY 2: Classical Greek and Roman.
CATEGORY 3: Asiatic art
CATEGORY 4: European and American.
Use the information on the label near your chosen object and your
comparison object to identify each object. Give the basic information
as you would for a quiz answer: artist if known, name of object,
material, culture it represents. Carefully describe your chosen object
and how it represents its culture and compare and contrast it with
another object from the same category. INCLUDE A SELFIE of you and
your chosen objects from each of the four categories: 8 selfies in all.
Print them up, label them, and put them in your paper.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR ALL PAPERS:
Paper Basics: I accept hard copy only. Be sure to save your papers on
your computer in case my dog eats your homework (any of my four
dogs is capable of doing this! )! Staple your paper before you come
to class to hand it in.
Handing in Papers: Bring your papers to class and hand them in at
the end of the class. If your paper is late, your grade will suffer as time
lapses.
Late Papers: Hand in late papers in my mailbox in PCAC A201 The
Arts Office where I have a mailbox. Have some person at a desk
initial it and give the date and time so that I can give you
appropriate credit for handing it in when you did (i.e. if you hand
in your paper on a Friday and I do not check my mail until Monday you
will get credit for Friday assuming that you ran it past the front desk for
the appropriate documentation).
Layout: Every paper must have a separate title page hopefully with
your name, course section, and date in the upper right hand corner.
This is to avoid the phenomenon where a heading manages to take up
half of the first page of a paper. Do your work justice!
Format: Use Times New Roman font (or an equivalent), 12 point type,
one inch margins, and double space. Please no not fiddle with spacing
and font to make your paper seem longer than it is.
A paper with appropriate formatting that is too short will be
graded more
