Any Tips on Writing an Art History Paper ?
I have to write an Art History Paper... This is my first art history course and
I don't think I'm very good at describing artwork.
The class is 19th Century American Art and I chose to write my paper on a portrait of Robert Fulton
done by Alonzo Chappel.
(So far I'm doing some research on Robert Fulton)
If someone could provide tips on how to go about writing an Art History paper (structure/content or reference work tips) it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Jon, I have my degree in Applied Business in Photography with a minor diploma in Commercial & Fine Art. I loved Art History! I went to Antonelli College of Art and Photography and the University of Indiana at Richmond to give you a little heads up on my background.
I would start with an introduction that focuses on the attire that Robert Fulton was painted with using descriptive colonial-like vocabulary terms.
Using the key terms listed under this painting are subtitles that I would write into paragraphs on in the essay:
http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/Alonzo-Chappel/Portrait-Of-Robert-Fulton-%281765-1815%29.html
I would then focus on the amount of contrast Alonzo used when attempting to create a perfect gray scale portrait of Mr. Fulton next and why he chose to use not too much richer grays in the portrait and then explain why the low amount of contrast was used matching this idea with the plain or homely like facial expressions on Roberts face.
I would then focus on how the wardrobe chosen by Robert was rather popular amongst other men in this century and how Robert was able to "fit-in" appearance wise with the newest trends in fashion for men compared to others Mr. Fulton new as friends or acquaintances.
The interior decorating is one of the last parts of this essay I would definitely touch base upon with the structure and the form of the background, and why the interior brings out the professional attire Mr. Fulton is wearing by not being to fancy to where the eye is not easily misled off of Mr. Fulton - which would easily happen if the furniture was more "pretty" or "attractive" in victorian style furniture considering that Robert was not a rather extremely attractive fellow, now in this century and also then in his era.
Another aspect of this painting is how Alonzo positioned Robert when he painted this portrait, and why he painted his hands and arms in the position he did to allow any audience viewing this portrait, why the way he positions the hands and arms to show that Robert was a very shy individual and why any audience should know, by just looking at this portrait, that he is a very quiet and unsocial among other people with an extroverted personality type.

I would explain why the artist wanted audiences of people to question whether or not Robert was more concerned with being an accomplished genius rather than being concerned with social acceptance as a norm.
Here is another link that might broaden your ideas of Mr. Fulton's background from a very reliable encyclopedia source that I would put into my own words to avoid any and all plagiarism:
http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Robert_Fulton.aspx
I would describe his posture and physique as well as the confidence level he had when touching base on why he appears to be an inventor that looks as if he could easily get discouraged but still have enough stick to-it-ive-ness.
I hope this helps, Jon, and let me know if you need further help - I always received A's when writing essay papers with required descriptive vocabulary.
