Talk about Daumier’s Republic, and Delacroix’s Liberty, two paintings the female body;

Be sure to link the two pictures you focus on to a specific theme or problematic – e.g., Daumier’s Republic, Delacroix’s Liberty, and the female body

Be sure to describe the artworks you discuss. Try, as best as you can, to link the conclusions you draw to specific details in them. In other words, help me see what you’re trying to say about the artworks you’ve opted to examine. And don’t forget – don’t be afraid – to state what seems most obvious.

Make sure you think about your essay as an essay – i.e., it should have an argument/thesis. What is gained by the comparison you introduce? What conclusions can be drawn from it? Another way to think about this: choose wisely. Pick paintings, and a comparison, that will generate good, meaningful writing.

Finally, be sure your essay engages the course readings. At the very least you should have something specific to say about the readings we’ve done around the artworks you discuss. Show me that you’ve read closely and critically.
