For this assignment you will write a paper on some instance of iconoclasm in history (including recent history) from any place or time. Iconoclasm has been described as happening in bursts or having outbreaks, and you will find that a spate of iconoclastic acts will likely yield the most writing about it, as opposed to a singular instance, but there are high profile instances of iconoclasm which might work (such as the attack on the Rokeby Venus, for example).
Your paper will characterize the iconoclastic moment, the context (historical/political/social/religious), describe works of art involved, and analyze the reasons why it happened. I want you to think critically about issues discussed in this class and think about them in relation to your chosen incidence of iconoclasm.
Your final draft will be double-spaced paper with footnotes or endnotes (no in-text citations please) following a consistent format (MLA or Chicago Manual of Style). The paper will be clearly written, free of spelling, and grammatical errors. The paper should include illustrations. Finally, your paper must include a bibliography, which should include journal articles as well as primary source material in addition to secondary sources (those written by scholars today).
THE TOPIC IS ATTACHED WITH CITATIONS. PLEASE FIND YOUR OWN CITATIONS AS WELL. MUST FOLLOW ALL GUIDELINES!!!!! MUST BE A MASTERS UNIVERSITY LEVEL PAPER. CHECK ALL GRAMMAR AND SPELLING. READ ATTACHED TOPIC OUTLINE AND ATTACHED SUMMARY POST (THAT INCLUDES CORRECTION NOTES) FOR REFERENCE.
