Academy of Art Charlemagnes Palatine Chapel in Aachen & Dome of the Rock Essay

I need help with a History question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

• 1.) Please choose two works–at least one from this module or similar to one in the module; the other may be any artwork style/era/culture that we have studied so far in this class (really! you can go back to the Classical or before). The works you chooseshould have some commonalities (e.g media, style, subject matter, cultural meaning or function).

• 2.) Discuss briefly how these works compare and contrast, looking at the similarities (see commonalities above) and differences (different era, style, culture, media, topic). Consider stylistic characteristics (naturalistic? abstract? media?) culture, function, iconography (patronage if applicable)…

Requirements

• Three paragraphs are fine for this short study.
• Please include images. Remember to identify your works.
• Cite your sources as always. Use in-text citations where appropriate.
• Submit your work to Turnitin.com. The submission is required and contributes to your grade.

The most important part of this study is the analysis in your comparison.

You’ll be graded on your success in this analysis; understanding or grasp of your subject matter as evidenced in your analysis; accurateness and research; completeness (considered a brief study); originality; and, as always, your writing 5%, citations 5%, and interaction with others 15%; (and timeliness — marked down 1/2 grade in last half day of discussion).

The purpose of this assignment is to get you thinking about how to compare artworks, as that’s what we’ll do for the final paper in this class.

Here are a couple of examples of good choices (please don’t everyone write on these choices!)
ONLY WRITE ONE COMPARISON

• The Lindau Gospel book cover and Gero Crucifix.
• The mosaic Justinian and his Attendants to the folio of Otto III Enthroned.
• Charlemagne’s Palatine Chapel in Aachen and the Dome of the Rock.
• Be creative: Choose any works either in the module or closely related to works in the module–and/or you can also venture back to consider any works from earlier cultures studied in the course, or related.

PLEASE BE ORIGINAL and please try not to repeat earlier studies.
