As a young scholar interested in China’s pictorial traditions, you have been invited to submit a short article to the Art Bulletin1 for publication consideration in a volume of essays produced by college students about a pictorial work of Chinese art (that is, one that is a painting, or has a significant pictorial aspect, such as an incised stone tablet with a scene containing figures or landscapes). You will select a topic, develop a motivating question about it, conduct research to find the answers for your question, and then write up your findings in a well organized and thoughtfully argued paper.Although this research paper was submitted in June, you need to send me a one-page statement about your goals and the general idea to ensure that it is a correct start.
