Written Narrative Directions for writing a Narrative Write a narrative that is at least 800 words in length (you are welcome to write much more), using at least 12-pt font. This paper should compare and contrast your work to a Mail artists work discussed in the online chapter. Some suggestions to help you begin writing are listed below. For further assistance on how to write a narrative paper, please reference the additional resources included in the Course pages under “Writing a Narrative”. Discuss your artwork in relation to a Mail Artists Work Basics Identify the Mail Artist and the work that you have selected to review. Indicate when the work was created and what medium was used. Content and Research Explain reasons for choosing that particular artist and artwork. Conduct personal research of the artist, the art movement, and the artwork you are discussing in your narrative. Its crucial that you learn more about the artist than what is provided on the course website and reflect that knowledge in your writing. Artwork: Meaning and Process Explain how you made your artwork and what techniques, materials, and concepts you used. Explain the story behind your work – why you created it, your influences, the memories attached to the work. How were line and shape used in your artwork? Critical Thinking: Your personal observations/ opinions Your personal observations can be integrated throughout the narrative. This is what makes your writing unique and demonstrates your ability to think critically. Explain what you find especially interesting, inspiring, or disturbing about the Mail Artists work. How do you connect to it? Address what memory means to you. Discuss the formal and conceptual aspects of both artworks (subject matter, form, and content). Other Requirements Use at least 7 vocabulary terms from the assigned terminology. Make sure to emphasize vocabulary in CAPS or in bold. Follow the intro, body, and conclusion format to organize your writing. Tips on structuring your narrative can be found in the Course Orientation under Creating an Outline. Make sure to cite all of your sources (books, internet, etc) in a Works Cited/Bibliography page at the end of your narrative. You should have at least (3) reliable, scholarly sources such as books, art magazines, as well as online museums, art publications, etc. Wikipedia is not encouraged as one of your main sources. In order to get credit for the “citing” portion of the grading rubric, you must list all of your researched sources in the Works Cited/Bibliography section (even if you didn’t include any quotes from those sources in your writing). Factual information that is paraphrased should still have a source. Please see directions on how to cite books and online sources in the Course Orientation.
