3. Problem/question(s): It is helpful and will make your paper more interesting if you discuss your artworks with a specific question or thesis in mind, which you would state in your introduction.
4. Artworks: indicate artist(s)’ names, full title, and date of artworks you discuss; (please in italics or underlined in your paper). Please focus on artworks we have not discussed in class!

So, don’t recycle, don’t cheat yourself, write your own genuine paper and don’t hand in a paper you wrote for another class!
