Artwork analysis assignmentOrder Description The Assignment: The artwork analysis should largely be crafted through a reading (description) of the formal qualities (line, shape, and color and the relationships among them, etc.) of the artwork selected (primary source). Additionally, ground observations in one to three secondary sources (books, periodicals). Touch on the following topics: Introduce the artwork and the artist (briefly introduce the artist. I am not looking for a paper written about the life of an artist). Consider the time it was made, societal conditions of the time in which the artist was working or the artwork was made, or any historical significance of the artwork. Why is this artwork compelling enough for you to select? Evaluate the artwork through extensive formal visual description (line, shape, color, etc.) of the art object. Including description of appearance, subject matter (example: politics, religion, etc.) the medium the artist chose (oil paint, bronze sculpture, etc.) and significance to the work, scale (size), and briefly comment on what is satisfying and/or not satisfying about the work. (Please avoid statements such as: I think, I feel, etc.) **Please refer to the class Moodle page for information on How To Write About Artwork. ** Interpret the work. What is it about?
