Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Section 4.5.2 Stylistic Periods or Movements in your textbook, and go through Art Identifying
Movements, examining the different movements.
Select two works of art, each from a different movement. Select works of art that you have not previously examined in this class. Consider using the
Library’s ART101 page to research both of your movements and find a credible source for each movement.
In your paper, for each work of art,
Identify the title of the work, the name of the artist, the date of the work, the place it was created (if known), and the movement it is from.
Provide a formal critical analysis.
