Visit a local museum, park, square, cemetery, or other site to find a work of commemorative art. Whether a tombstone or a large-scale public sculpture, specific imagery communicates ideas. In a 400-500 word essay, describe your chosen work in detail and discuss how the subject matter and design commemorate a specific event. If you need help with giving a visual description, skip ahead to the chapter on “Visual Elements” for orientation.

Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11") with 1" margins on all sides. You should use a clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Citations should be in APA format.

Pay close attention to the rubric below for criteria on which you will be graded.
