“The final essay should use research (using at least 4-5 peer-reviewed sources – books and/or articles AND at least 4 works of art related to your topic) to somehow underscore your visual concept. Use your objects and sources to provide contextual background for your story/visuals. Be sure to use the Chicago style of citation in your essay.
Submit your essay with a bibliography, list (including images) of your objects”
Hello! So my assignment was to create a comic and I need to have a paper going along with it. My comic follows a monk based off of “Shiva as Chandrashekhar”.
The monk, like shiva, strikes different yoga poses and sends energy off into the universe. You dont have to call specific refrence to my comic in the paper.
While not a opinion piece, stuff that was interesting about the details of the 4 works of art you may have picked, all revolving around “Shiva as Chandrashekhar”, could be talked about.
Some things to talk about in the essay would be who Shiva was, his significance to the people that worshiped them (historical background/cultural background), the Iconography of Shiva, and it might be a good idea to touch on the topic of Karma, what it is, and how it relates to Shiva.
My professor said good refrence websites to find peer-reviewed sources would be:
www.smarthistory.org
www.metmuseum.org
www.brooklynmuseum.org
However please refrain from listing these websites as the actual sources, as it does need to be peer-reviewed!
The original artwork I used as refrence is the following, and you can cite it as one of the 4 related art works on my topic:
https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/174436
Please also note if youre not particularly comfortable working in Chicago, MLA or APA formats are also open, just be sure to include the proper footnotes or in-text citations. Thank you so much!
