Assignment three (chapter 4, the visual elements)

Do not quote from the book, each question should be answer in one paragraph.

These questions they’re meant to NOT be answered from your reading.

They’re meant to get you to realize that you guys know a lot more about art than you think you do.

Think of them as brief opinion pieces, not research papers. I just want your thoughts on these various topics.

Question of the Day #1: “What’s the difference between looking at the same work of art in a museum, in a church, and in someone’s house? (This will help you analyze a work of art in terms of its visual elements as well as its context).

Question of the Day #2: “How does color affect us psychologically? Are these effects personal or universal?” (This will isolate one of the visual elements so you can examine it in depth.)

Question #3 google this painting
Let’s Take a Walk: Henri Matisse, “The Conversation,” 1908 – 1912. This will help you analyze a work of art using nothing but your eyes and life experiences. Begin by looking at the piece’s visual elements, as described in this week’s reading.)

I will upload the chapter
