The essay must be printed on white paper, one side only, and spacing of at least 1.3 between lines. If you refer to any art works not included in the text book, print them out and attach them at the end. If you refer to textbook artworks, include the textbook figure number in parentheses. If your image is in one of the artstor image groups, but not in the textbook, indicate the number of the image group. For all images referred to in your essay, identify the title of the work, the artist who made it, and the date the first time you talk about it. The second or third or fourth (etc.) times, all you need to do is name the title. Print out the document word count and staple it to your essay.

However, you must use books and/or journal articles. Web sites are not acceptable. Any ideas you take from the references you use should be documented with footnotes or endnotes. You must use the Chicago style of documentation. This is the format which uses a superscript number at the end of the sentence. The number indicates the presence of a note. 1 QUESTION: How do Italian portraits from the early 15 through late 16 centuries change, and throughth th these changes, how do they reflect the styles and cultural values of the time periods in which they are produced? Your essay should include an example for the 15 century Renaissanceth (probably Ghirlandaio or Botticelli), the early 16 century (Raphael or Leonardo – Michelangeloth did not paint protraits), the Venetian renaissance (probably Titian but if you choose male portraits, then Bellini is also useful), and Mannerism (Bronzino was the primary portraitist although not the only one). You should focus your essay on either changes in female portraits or changes in male portraits. You may want to make some comparisons to portraits of the gender you do not choose, but the focus of your essay should be limited to one gender. Likewise, you may also want to include some discussion of comparable changes in portraits by northern European artists, but this should not be the focus of your discussion. Some of the See pages 88 - 89 in Henry M. Sayre, Writing about Art (Upper Saddle River: Pearson, 2009),1 for a discussion of how to form Chicago style notes. Your textbook also uses Chicago style notes although most of them are an abbreviated, short form which is characteristic of textbooks which include long bibliographies. This is an example of a Chicago style note which also includes information. The part in bold is what you generally need to include.
