This assignment is intended for you to become more research savvy by utilizing academic level online tools available to you through the library’s website.

Assignment:

1) Find a recent article (published within the past twelve months) on a subject in ART that interests you. You will do this by utilizing one of the library databases, such as LexisNexis Academic or ProQuest Newspapers. Consider focusing your search on your favorite artist, artwork, or style of art. You might even try tying in art with your academic major. Please stay away from articles about music, cosmetics, cars, etc.

2) Once you find an interesting article, print it out. The article must be at least 400 words in length, but under 2000 words.

3) Write a one-page essay structured as follows: (An example is below)

Paragraph 1. Basic Info (DO NOT LIST THESE AS BULLET POINTS)

What is the title of the article?
Who wrote it? (if unknown tell me it is “unknown” or it is by an “anonymous writer”)
What magazine/journal/periodical was published in?
Provide the date of publication
Which of the databases did you use? (Internet sites or blogs are not allowed)
What keyword did you search for?
Paragraph 2. Briefly summarize the article.

Tell me what it is about. Use general rather than specific information. Do not “lift”

passages from the article! That would be plagiarizing not summarizing.

Paragraph 3. What interested you about this article?

Point Value: 25 points

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
