BETWEEN IMAGE AND WORD IN-CLASS WRITING WORKSHOP The goal for writing assignment 1 is to dig into the meaning behind your photographer's work. We're doing this by exploring their work through a variety of thematic readings of which you've been tasked with relating those ideas to your artists work. In the end, the paper should be an exploratory research essay where you present your findings on what the work of your artist means with scholarly research to back it up. *IN-CLASS WRITING: So far, you've done 4 in-class writing and 4 at home writings related to your artist and their work. Before coming to class today you should have reread all of these. Go through each of these writings and make a list of the what the main point or idea that came out of each of these writings. We'll use this as the basis for the writing workshop. WRITING AN OUTLINE Introduction (What is your thesis statement) What is the main idea of what you want to say in your paper? What are you claiming the artist's work means based on the research and writing you've done? Body (What images and arguments do you use for your body) You should be discussing AT LEAST 3 IMAGES in your paper. These images should be used as examples that support your thesis statement and are analyzed from both formal and conceptual standpoints. What are you saying how do these images support your ideas? You should not choose images at random. They should be referenced in your paper because they play a substantial role in your thesis. What scholarly resources are you using to support your ideas? This should include the articles you found that related to your artists but also any in-class readings that you reference in your paper. Any additional research you end up doing should be referenced in your annotated bibliography as well. The body of your paper should be the longest and most substantial part. This is where you make your arguments and ideas heard all while referencing the scholarly resources that brought you there. Conclusion (Summarize your arguments) In a condensed version, take us back through your argument. WRITING THE ABSTRACT An abstract is a 250- to 300-word paragraph that provides readers with a quick overview of your essay and its organization (the research). It should express your thesis (or central idea) and your key points (images used); it should also suggest any conclusions you come to. ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. http://guides.library.cornell.edu/annotatedbibliography
