Essay
Question (worth 30
pts) for last exam [this can be done as a take-home; typed, double-spaced would
be preferred;
expectation:
approx. 2-3 pgs] *You can either turn this essay
in at the time of the exam, OR anytime Friday April 28 (hardcopy)
TOPIC: “An Early Modern Portrait of
Myself” [note, not a self-portrait!]
Imagine a portrait done of yourself, but based
on conventions [i.e., traditional modes of representation] that we’ve
discussed
in the course (do not limit yourself to the last third of the course, this can
encompass everything we’ve
seen
from day 1). What artist would you
have represent you, and why? What
might that portrait look like? (with others,
or
alone? Setting? Format? Medium? Pose? Symbolism? Attire? ) and anything else that pertains.
Please EXPLAIN why you
would want these elements (they should reveal something about who you are, here
and now),
use
appropriate portrait/art history terminology, and connect to/describe specific
early modern portraits (by artist/title) to explain your choices.
