you may write a paper that reflects a visit to three museums to see
art from the period covered by the course. You must do more than just describe the paintings or
sculptures you select. You must develop a thesis, argue a point, and do so from a comparative

you about Spanish culture and society in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. The
Norton Simon Collection, the Getty Museum, and LACMA.
