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.

HISTORY
- The artwork I have chosen is The Abduction of
Europa which was painted by Rembrandt
Harmensz. Van Rijn. The artist was known for
being one of the most popular artists during the
Dutch Golden Age. The Golden Age took place
in Amsterdam. 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. Individuals
started to invest their money into artwork rather
