Question
I have to do a research paper for my AP Art History class and I have to pick a topic.  I was thinking along the lines of a painter and one of their works.  I have to be able to write 12 pages on it, so there has to be enough information about the topic.  Do you have any suggestions?

Answer
There are thousands of artists works that you could write 12 pages on. 40 pages may be different.

When you pick a piece remember part of the Art Hisroty lies in the society and what type of life the artist had. Remember to look into which other artist were around at the time and how they all got along.

For a break down; a couple pages should be on artist biography, then the periods development, then on the piece itself (why it was made, for who, and how it was recieveced by the public, how it affected the artist reputation)


Hope this helps
