Assignment Question
Write an essay based on a scholarly article related to Abstract Expressionism. Your essay should incorporate the following, if appropriate, to provide the foundation for your topic: Art and politics of the time Origins of this movement What was happening worldwide and why the shift from Paris to New York Action Painting and Color Field Painting Key artists of this movement The healing power of The Navajo Sand Painters and Pollock’s approach to Abstract Expressionism Address three female artists and their legacy. You may use outside sources to address your response to female artists. After reading the article thoroughly, write an essay in which you: State your thesis. (This is one sentence that states your interpretation or evaluation of the article; it is not a restatement of the author’s thesis.) Briefly summarize the thesis and main points of the scholarly article. Write your reaction to the article. (For example, did the author change your understanding of the topic? Was the author thorough in his or her explanations? If not, what was not clear or not considered fully? Do you agree with the author’s point of view? Why or why not? What questions did the article raise for you?)
Write a conclusion in which you summarize your main points. (Again, this is not a summary of the article, but of your thoughts about and evaluation of the article.) You may also incorporate information from your textbook if you find it relevant to your research. Your essay should be 6-8 pages in length. You may include images to support your thesis; however, images may not contribute to the length of your essay. If you include images, you will be expected to adjust the length of your paper accordingly.
