MLA SAMPLE PAPER:
MLA Sample Paper.pdfDownload MLA Sample Paper.pdf
Write the essay in the following structure:
Introduction: Your introduction — should open generally (with a quotation, anecdote, generalization), and lead into the thesis statement.
All Comparisons (Art works 1 and 2):
This section — which should consist of several paragraphs — should go through all similarities you find in the two works of art on which you are writing. There should be at least three comparisons (essentially at least three to four paragraphs) in which you give an example from both works of art being compared.
Do not focus on just obvious comparisons, dig deeper. For example, both sculptures are made from bronze but also, compare the techniques, the surface texture of the material. The pose or movement of the figures can be compared, for example. You may also compare the meaning or content (the message) and the context in which they may been created, of both works of art.
Michelangelo “David”               Bernini “David”
All Contrasts (Art works 1 and 2)
This section — which should consist of several paragraphs — should go through all differences you find in the two art works on which you are writing. There should be at least three contrasts -not obvious contrasts (essentially at least three to four paragraphs) in which you give an example from both works being contrasted.
DO NOT USE THE EXAMPLES ABOVE OR BELOW, CHOOSE YOUR OWN.
Do not focus on just obvious contrasts. For example, one sculpture is made from marble and the other sculpture is casted in bronze. Instead focus on the choice of materials and how the material will add meaning to the message, the type of stone chosen to depict a pharaoh may be based on the permanence of that type of stone, sandstone vs. diorite, as an example. Contrast the techniques, casting vs. carving, casting is an additive process while carving is a subtractive process. You may also contrast the meaning or content (the message) of both works of art as stated above.
Thutmose III           King Tut
Conclusion: This conclusion is wrapping up everything you have just proven in your paper. It should restate the thesis in a new, more official way, and you should feel quite confident in your writing.
Here is a quick breakdown on how the Compare-Contrast Essay should appear:
Paragraph 1: Introduction (with Thesis)
Paragraph 2: Comparison A (Art works 1&2)
Paragraph 3: Comparison B (Art works 1&2)
Paragraph 4: Comparison C (Art works 1&2)
Paragraph 5: Possible fourth comparison detail.
Paragraph 6: Contrast A (Art works 1&2)
Paragraph 7: Contrast B (Art works 1&2)
Paragraph 8: Contrast C (Art works 1&2)
Paragraph 9: Possible fourth contrasting detail.
Paragraph 10: Conclusion (restate thesis in a new way, be creative)

Compare and Contrast Essay
Most introductory art history classes will ask students to write a compare and contrast essay about two pieces – examples include comparing and contrasting a medieval to a renaissance painting. It is always best to start with smaller comparisons between the two works of art such as the medium of the piece. Then the comparison can include attention to detail so use of color, subject matter, or iconography. Do the same for contrasting the two pieces – start small. After the foundation is set move on to the analysis and what these comparisons or contrasting material mean – ‘what is the bigger picture here?’ Consider why one artist would wish to show the same subject matter in a different way, how, when, etc are all questions to ask in the compare and contrast essay. If during an exam it would be best to quickly outline the points to make before tackling writing the essay.
Compare and Contrast Example:
Stele of Hammurabi from Susa (modern Shush, Iran), ca. 1792 – 1750 BCE, Basalt, height of stele approx. 7’ height of relief 28’
Compare:
Stele, relief sculpture, Art as propaganda – Hammurabi shows that his law code is approved by the gods, depiction of land in background, Hammurabi on the same place of importance as the god, etc.
Contrast:
Top of this stele shows the relief image of Hammurabi receiving the law code from Shamash, god of justice, Code of Babylonian social law, only two figures shown, different area and time period, etc.
Stele of Naram-sin, Sippar Found at Susa c. 2220 – 2184 bce. Limestone, height 6’6″
Compare:
Stele, relief sculpture, Example of propaganda because the ruler (like the Stele of Hammurabi) shows his power through divine authority, Naramsin is the main character due to his large size, depiction of land in background, etc.
Contrast:
Akkadian art, made of limestone, the stele commemorates a victory of Naramsin, multiple figures are shown specifically soldiers, different area and time period, etc.
Iconography
Regardless of what essay approach you take in class it is absolutely necessary to understand how to analyze the iconography of a work of art and to incorporate into your paper. Iconography is defined as subject matter, what the image means. For example, why do things such as a small dog in a painting in early Northern Renaissance paintings represent sexuality? Additionally, how can an individual perhaps identify these motifs that keep coming up?
The following is a list of symbols and their meaning in Marriage a la Mode by William Hogarth (1743) that is a series of six paintings that show the story of marriage in Hogarth’s eyes.
Man has pockets turned out symbolizing he has lost money and was recently in a fight by the state of his clothes.
Lap dog shows loyalty but sniffs at woman’s hat in the husband’s pocket showing sexual exploits.
Black dot on husband’s neck believed to be symbol of syphilis.
Mantel full of ugly Chinese porcelain statues symbolizing that the couple has no class.
Butler had to go pay bills, you can tell this by the distasteful look on his face and that his pockets are stuffed with bills and papers.
Card game just finished up, women has directions to game under foot, shows her easily cheating nature.
Paintings of saints line a wall of the background room, isolated from the living, shows the couple’s complete disregard to faith and religion.
The dangers of sexual excess are underscored in the Hograth by placing Cupid among ruins, foreshadowing the inevitable ruin of the marriage.
Eventually the series (other five paintings) shows that the woman has an affair, the men duel and die, the woman hangs herself and the father takes her ring off her finger symbolizing the one thing he could salvage from the marriage.
Comparative Analysis:
The comparative analysis starts with a formal analysis of two or more individual pieces, and then adds
another level of discussion that evaluates relevant similarities and differences between the pieces. This added
level is useful in revealing details about trends within historical periods, regional similarities, or growth of an
individual artist over time.
• In describing the individual pieces, keep to the same conventions used when doing an individual formal
analysis.
• Ask yourself why this comparison is relevant. There is a wealth of information in why your professor has
asked for a comparison of two particular pieces.
• Depending on the length and complexity of comparison, one of the two following basic structures will be
more appropriate:
• “Lumping” involves discussing all details of one work, and then all details of the second work. This
method is preferred in lengthy or broad comparisons to avoid zipping back and forth between the works
too quickly. Remember to compare the two works by referring back to the first work when discussing
the second. This will ensure that you don’t simply write two descriptions.
• “Splitting” involves discussing a particular point in both works before moving on to another point. This
method is preferred in comparisons dealing with fine details instead of a broader look at each work as a
whole. Remember to discuss each point evenly to maintain a clear, parallel structure
