    Hey guys i was wondering if it's normal to write an generic intro of the period at the opening of every art essay?

    Personally i don't see the point if the question doesnt ask for it, but would appreciate some advice from others?

    Well it really does depend on the question, but in most cases a bit of background isn't going to hurt. However I wouldn't advise an intro as such, as you probably wouldn't get any marks for it. Instead tie in any information about the period into the point you're making. For example if you're talking about Romanesque architecture, you could say a bit about the cultural revival and how the increase of pilgrims influenced the design of the churches lay out. Remember you won't be rewarded for waffle, make sure everything you say is relevant.
