Composition 3110

Advanced Writing for Students in the Arts and Letters

Choose an artform from the list below or otherwise, and make an argument for the significance of that artform. Explain the techniques of this artform as well as specific examples of artists and their work in this form. Also, explain the form's advantages and limitations.

While extensive secondary research is not necessary for this assignment, if you choose to research some background information for this topic, be sure to use the MLA documentation format. This means you should use quotations followed by page numbers and the author's name in the text as well as a list of works cited at the end of the text. Most writing manuals include information about MLA documentation.

The more focused your analysis of the artform is, the more persuasive it will be. Specific examples will help provide such focus. Remember: the more successful papers will be the ones that tell their audience something new and original about the topic.
