Document Summary
The writing assignment is designed to help you learn different ways to write about art. For this assignment you will write a minimum 3-4 page (750-1000 word) comparison of two artworks. You may choose one of the following pairs for this exercise: caterina van hemessen, self-portrait, 1548. (13-37) stokstad, p. 363. Judith leyster, self-portrait, 1635. (14-24) stokstad, p. 391: titian, venus of urbino, 1538. (13-20) stokstad, p. 345. Lucas cranach the elder, nymph of spring, c. 1537.

A comparison is an essay comprised of two aspects: comparing elements (noting the similarities) and contrasting elements (noting the differences) of one work with another. The aim of this exercise is to learn more about each work by looking at them alongside one another, this is largely a visual exercise of looking.
