Source names are always written in italics. Sources include ancient myths, books and websites. Websites like Wikipedia or Ancient History Encyclopedia have millions of articles. Include the article title in quotation marks. 1) If you create a citation from a work where the author is known, for example, from the book World Mythology by Donna Rosenberg, present your citation like this: According to World Mythology by Donna Rosenberg, Osiris was the god of fertility and ruler of the underworld. A citation like the one above should be used if you are using information from one of the essays written by Donna Rosenberg in the textbook, or if you are quoting Rosenberg. 2) If you quote one of the myths in World Mythology, you must include the title of the ancient source, like this: According to The Epic of Gilgamesh in World Mythology by Donna Rosenberg, Enkidu challenges King Gilgamesh to one-on-one combat. After the first time you write out the entire citation for World Mythology by Donna Rosenberg, you can then use a parenthetical: Similarly, in Osiris, Isis and Horus of Egyptian mythology, Horus challenges his uncle Set to one-on-one combat (Rosenberg 20). 3) On the Internet, the website is the source. Write the website name in italics. Write the title of the article in quotation marks. If the author's name is available, include that, too. According to "Perseus" by Mark Cartwright at The Ancient History Encyclopedia, the goddess Athena favored the hero Perseus. If the author's name is not available, use the article title and the website name. According to “Perseus” on the website Wikipedia, Perseus was rewarded with a golden bridle, which he used to tame the winged horse Pegasus. Never include any part of a web address. Do not include the prefix "http://www" or the URL, which is "dot com" or "dot org." 4) The museum card is a publication. The information can be used, but must be cited. Use the title of the artwork as the article title written in quotes. The museum is the source. According to “Hagar and the Angel" at LACMA, the painting Hagar and the Angel was created in 1650 by the artist Francesco Maffei. 5) When repeating a source's information word for word, you must cite the source and use quotation marks. The quote must support something of your own narrative, and cannot be from a general source like Wikipedia. You can quote a classical author: When Achilles hears that Hector has killed his friend Patroclus, he decides to return to the fighting even though a prophecy has said he will die. Achilles blames himself for Patroclus's death, saying, “I now realize at what great price I sat uselessly by my ships, according to The Iliad of Homer (Rosenberg 143). Or, you can quote a specific authority whose credentials can be verified, as long as the quote supports something you have explained in your own words: The Greeks wrote many stories of gods and heroes, and their myths have been copied by many cultures. Mark Cartwright, in “Iliad" at Ancient History Encyclopedia, says, "The Iliad is universally acclaimed as a truly great story.” NO QUOTES FROM WIKIPEIDA OR OTHER GENERAL SOURCES. YOU CAN QUOTE ARTICLES WHERE THE AUTHOR'S NAME IS LISTED, OR A CLASSICAL SOURCE LIKE HOMER'S THE ILIAD. 6) The bible is a collection of books, and each of book is considered a source. Always use the King James Version when citing or quoting the bible. Do not include the bible" or "King James Version" in your citation, because it is accepted that you are using the KJV. Write the title of the bible book out fully the first time you use it. Always include the chapter and verse numbers: According to The Book of Genesis 2:18, God created a woman as an help meet for Adam. After you write the book title out completely the first time, you can shorten it every time after that: The woman was tempted to disobey God by a serpent. When Eve tells the serpent they are forbidden to eat from the Tree of Knowledge the serpent says, "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods..." (Genesis 3:5) RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS: The research paper must be at least five pages using MLA format. That means five full pages of information, and a little bit on to a sixth. Detailed MLA format instructions are in the syllabus, and include Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced, standard margins, and citations for your sources. There are five topics to cover. If you sent the formal e-mail as required, you should have a page of notes to help you find information on each of the topics for the work of art you selected. Research each topic by finding at least two sources. You many use Wikipedia and other encyclopedic sources, but not exclusively. The questions below are suggestions for research and you do not have to answer them all. 1) DESCRIPTION: Write a topic sentence stating the title of the artwork. Then tell me what you see. If there are human figures what are they doing? How are they posed? What are they wearing? What are the expressions on their faces? Tell me about the non-human figures. Include relative sizes, positions and colors used as you describe each figure. 2) THE ARTIST or THE CULTURE: Tell me about the artist who created this artwork. Where did he or she live? Where did he study? What themes are common in his work? If the artist is not named, tell me about the people in the time and place it was created. What were the people like? Where did they live and how did they live? Who were the rulers and what building was done during the time when the artwork was made? 3) THE STYLE: Every artwork has a general classification or type. For example, works like The Hope Athena are Classical style, because they were made in ancient Rome. Works like Hagar and the Angel are Baroque style because they have elements popular in the 17th century. Discover the style of the artwork you have chosen. Tell me what the basic elements of the style are, and how the work of art embodies those elements. Give specific examples, and show how the artist was a proponent of that style. 4) THE SUBJECT: What mythological story does the artwork tell? Who are the characters in it, and what are they doing? Find original sources for the myth or story, and explain their importance to the culture that created them. Always include quotes from related literature to support your narrative. 5) THEME: What is the main idea the artwork brings to mind? Tell me why the theme is important to human life. Explain how the theme is present in your own life. CREATING CITATIONS Please use narrative citations for both written assignments. A citation is a way of telling me where you found the information you used to build your argument. Narrative citations are included as part of the story you are telling. They can be anywhere in a paragraph, not just at the end. Narrative citations do not need a works cited page, but you may include one if you wish. { Research Paper PREP Research Paper - 7 pages or more based on one work of art at an area museum.

The Dutch Golden Age was the age when Dutch art, science, trade and military were the most eulogized. The Golden Age lasted from 1600 to 1750 which was one hundred fifty years. It was normal due to immigration for different types of people to engage and work with one and another, yet the Golden Age had left a negative impact, which was the slave trade. For the majority of the wealth that was produced during this age was due to the plantations in Dutch colonies. The fall of the Golden Age began once the war of independence from Spain ended.

The Abduction of Europa
Description
The Abduction of Europa through Rembrandt is a painting that I saw in room 204 of
the J Pual Getty museum, and it was initially painted in 1632. The picture shows the Ancient
Roman god Jupiter concealed as an attractive white bull. He has seduced Europa and takes
her away on his back into the sea, he has his tail up, and this is a sign that has carried out a
successful abduction. Europa is seen sitting on the bull and holding the horn with her right
hand and looking back at the servants on the shore ("A Discussion of the Abduction of
Europa by Rembrandt"). One sees the Virgin of Tyle, who Europa was playing with before
her kidnapping. One can also see the woman in blue, dropping her flower garland that has
been made for the bull, and she raises her hands in the air. The other woman also looks at
Europa and at the same time, folds her hands, signaling she has accepted Europa’s fate. One
sees the background with a horse carriage, and this has four stallions that got Europa to the
beach.
The painting is a melodramatic clarification of the seducing of Europa, who was the
princess of Tyre. Rembrandt emphasized his standing as a well-meaning supporter of an
exclusive sphere of history artists. Through this painting, one can see an expression of human
aspects of drama. The painting shows Europa’s fingers dig into the bull’s neckline as she
looks backward at her peers who at the same time reveal a mixture of emotions such as horror

as well as resignation ("A Discussion of the Abduction of Europa by Rembrandt"). One can
see youthful features and animated blonde locks, and this is inspired by the portrayal of the
abduction of a virgin princess who is swept away by a god who has desires to take her. The
painting evokes a sense of awe and mystery, especially since one incorporates the aspect of
mythology, as shown through this particular painting. This painting is one of the earliest
works of Rembrandt, and it is a depiction of divine intervention on earth.
The Artist or Culture
Rembrandt's interpretation of this story is placed in a contemporary setting, and this
gives a clear understanding of the work. Rembrandt developed an interest in classical work
while he was in Amsterdam, and he became interested in understanding more about classical
art culture. He was born to a miller and a baker, and despite his ambitions as well as the love
of art, he never visited Italy but instead learned with Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam ("The
Abduction of Europa"). Rembrandt is a Dutch painter who is seen as one of the ultimate
graphical artists in the history of art. Rembrandt's work depicts a wide range of styles as well
as subjects. His influences on painting originated during the Dutch Golden Age, and this was
similar to the Baroque style, which controlled Europe. Though Rembrandt did not go abroad,
he was largely influenced by Italian as well as Dutch artists. Rembrandt's paintings gave him
a high reputation as an artist, and he made significant contributions to art. Rembrandt was
