The comparison essay should answer the question, “How are objects similar?” and “How are objects different?” The key to a good compare and contrast essay is to organize the sentences by theme where both works of art are discussed all the way through.  What are the themes?  You can choose any of the formal qualities – such as style, material, size, use of line, etc. that you already read about in Assignment #4 (Week 1 Module).  You also should include a discussion of the objects’ functions and meanings. So what was the object used for?  who used it?  where was it originally located? who was supposed to see or not see the works?

 Use the readings I have linked above but also draw upon your knowledge of the Olmec so far.  You do not need to do any outside research.  As the Olmec culture is quite removed from us in time, we don’t know a whole lot about them for certain and so the goal of the exam is to develop your “close-looking skills” of visual analysis – what you can see. But definitely incorporate some of the general knowledge you have learned about the Olmec up to this point in class. 

Citing information: Since this isn’t an English course, the citation rules are a little more relaxed. You only need to cite (MLA, Chicago, or APA are fine) if you are using a direct quote from the article. But if you are just summarizing information from the article in your own words, you don’t need to cite. As I am providing you with the articles, I know what the content is.

The essay should be one to two pages in length, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font, 1 inch margins. 

**Remember, the most important thing is to discuss the works together. So for example, if you make a point that the materials are the same – both are made out of stone – you need to explain why that is important and talk about both works together.  Or if the subject matter is different – why is it different? what is being portrayed in each work?
