This is a Research Paper in which you are expected to compile facts relating to the


 


history of illustration. Your personal reactions to this research may be set-up in the


 


introduction and summarized in a closing statement. Otherwise, do not make opinioned statements without quoting the source.

•The scope of the paper will be a historical review of two illustrators from the decades


 


leading up to the 20th Century (1850-1900) and two illustrators from each decade of


 


the 20th century (1900-1910, 1910-1920, 1920-1930, 1930-1940, 1940-1950, 1950-


 


1960, 1960-1970, 1970-1980, 1980-1990, 1990-2000) for a total of 22 illustrators.

•The Research Paper must be not less than 2500 words (slightly more if needed) with


 


supportive images for each subject (a total of at least 22 images). Images may be


 


included within the text to which they refer and should not be less than 1/4 page each (3” by 4” minimum) in size. You may also choose to include the images on separate pages or as


 


a group in back, but be sure to have an easy-to-use reference system within the text. All images must be captioned with: artist’s name, publication or client, dates, medium, etc.

•Text must be 12 point type on 8 1/2” X 11” sheets of paper in a plastic cover sleeve


 (vertical format) 


with a titled cover sheet including your name. Accompanying images must be readable


(quarter to full page). Presentation should look professional.

•You must use at least three sources, which will be listed in the paper’s bibliography


 


(included at the end of the paper in addition to the 2500 word requirement).


 Internet sources collectively count as one source (Wikipedia is not a credible source – do not use it as part of your bibliography). 


Bibliography and citations will be written in the Chicago Manual of Style format.


 


Research paper must be cited.
