– I attached the official instructions and prompt for the paper (Final Paper Instruction.pdf)
– I attached a sample essay from the class that demonstrates how to incorporate pictures (artifacts) and how to cite the sources (sample final essay.pdf)
– I attached all the sources you should use. There should be no other sources used or cited in the paper
– The 6 sources are divided into 3 sections, with 2 sources for each section. The sources for each section will be a mix of visual and textual sources. If a source includes text as well as visual artifacts, at least one visual artifact should be included/cited. There is no word count requirement, the paper just has to be 5-6 pages long (double-spaced), and the pictures (artifacts) can contribute to this
– The 3 sections are:
1. Buddhism’s impact on Chinese arts and artifacts
sources: a. the lotus of the law.pdf (2 pages long) AND
b. 22 Buddhist Doctrines and Passages.pdf (11 pages)
2. The Sogdian’s impact on Chinese arts and artifacts
sources: a. https://sogdians.si.edu/objects/ (use any number of the objects shown in this online exhibition) AND b. https://sogdians.si.edu/introduction/ (in-depth overview of the Sogdians)
3. Giuseppe Castiglione’s impact on Chinese arts and artifacts
sources: a. https://smarthistory.org/imperial-workshop-castiglione-qianlong-emperor/ AND
b. https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/ring-tailed-lemur-from-cochin-china-giuseppe-castiglione/-QGxG2WN6eXJgA
– There should be an introduction before the three sections, and a conclusion to follow
– I am taking this class pass/fail, so there’s no need to try super hard
