A.  Choose two art periods (Neoclassical and  Romanticism or Impressionism and Post impressionism)  and write a response to each of the following prompts (suggested length of 1–2 paragraphs per numbered prompt):
1.  Describe the earlier period.  Your description should include the characteristics of the style, and historical conditions that may have contributed to the advent of this style.
2.  Describe the later period.  Your description should include the characteristics of the style, and historical conditions that may have contributed to the advent of this style.
3.  Describe the relationship between the periods.
a.  Explain the stylistic similarities or differences between the periods.
b.  Explain one reason the later period continued or deviated from the artistic style and tradition of the earlier period.
4.  Describe the similarities or differences between two specific works, one from the earlier period and one from the later period. Both works should be from the same discipline (music, visual art, architecture, or literature).
5.  Explain at least one specific way the later art period influenced the future art world (i.e., its artistic legacy, or stylistic influence).

Note: You will want to identify both periods and describe the art periods (time periods, characteristics, and historical conditions that may have contributed to the advent of the styles of the period), but you will want to do so in a way that will allow your readers to see how the descriptions support your statements concerning the relationship between the two art periods.

B.  When you use sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, provide acknowledgement of source information for any content that is quoted, paraphrased or summarized. Acknowledgement of source information includes in-text citation noting specifically where in the submission the source is used and a corresponding reference, which includes:
•  Author
•  Date
•  Title
•  Location of information (e.g., publisher, journal, or website URL)
