You may use up to twentypercent (200 words) of your paper for such things as an introduction, conclusion, historical information about the artist and painting. Be sure to include the name of the artist, the title of the work, the date of its creation and the medium used to create the artwork. If the title or subject of your selected artwork makes reference to a particular religious, historical or mythological event or person, find out what the reference means, and include that information in your paper. Here are a series of questions to think about as you view your chosen work of art, and when you write your paper. These questions are simply a guide for your thinking as you complete the assignment; your paper should be more than a simple series of answers to these specific questions. 1.What is the subject of the artwork? Does the title help you interpret what you see? Can you imagine different approaches to the subject matter that would change the way you read the work? 2.Consider how the Elements of Art are used to create the Visual Form. a.How is Line used in the artwork? Are there horizontal and vertical lines? Diagonal lines? Curving, looping lines? How does line help to create the overall content of the work of art? b.What Shapes are used in the composition? Are there positive and negative shapes? Where are they in the composition? Does the artist use geometric or organic shapes? How does the choice of shape help to create the overall content of the artwork? c.Are there Textures in the artwork actual or simulated? What sorts of textures are used? Do the choice of these textures affect the content of the artwork? d.How is Value used in the composition? Do the lights and darks help to create a mood, or feeling in the artwork? Be sure to give specific examples. If the work of art is a work of sculpture, how do the lights and shadows affect the feeling of the artwork? e.How is Color used in the composition? Is one of the Color Harmonies used? Where are the most important colors located in the composition? Are the colors predominately warm or cool? Think about the value and intensity of the colors chosen by the artist. How does the choice of colors help to create the content of the artwork? 3.How are the Principles of Design used to organize the composition? a.Are Harmony and Variety used in the artwork? Be sure to give specific examples. How does this principle affect the content of the artwork? b.Is there a sense of visual Rhythm moving your eye across or through the work of art? What is the tempo or speed of the felt rhythm? If the visual rhythm was a musical rhythm, what would it sound like? c.Has the artist chosen symmetrical, or asymmetrical Balance for the composition? Using specific examples, show how the artist has achieved a sense of visual balance in the artwork. How does the choice of the type of balance used in the artwork affect the content of the work? d.How large or small is the actual work of art? How does its physical scale affect your response to the work? Within the artwork, how is scale and proportion used? Do the proportions seem true to life, or are they distorted? e.How is the Principle of Dominance used in the artwork? Are some things in the composition emphasized? Subordinated? Are there one or more focal points in the composition? f.Is there a sense of Movement in the work of art? Does the work seem to move fast or slow ? Give specific examples to support your observations. g.Has the artist used the Principle of Economy in the artwork? Does the work seem to have been reduced down to just a few essentials? Be sure to give specific examples. 4.How does the medium the artist uses to create the work of art affect your response to the work? We have seen how artworks of the same subject, each fabricated in different materials can dramatically change the content of the artwork. 5.Finally consider what all of this might mean. What is the artist trying to say about the subject matter of the work? What feelings or attitudes does the composition seem to evoke, and what specific elements or principles used in the composition account for these feelings? Every choice the artist makes in creating the visual form of a work of art is aimed at creating the meaning, message and feeling (the content) of the work. A consideration of all of the questions above is intended to help lead you to your understanding, your interpretation, of the work of art you have chosen to write about. By using specific examples from the work of art itself to support you observations and statements, you help the reader clearly understand what you are trying to communicate about your experience of the artwork.

Take a look at the Sample Paper that I just uploaded. The paper needs to focus on the Elements of Art depicted in the Portrait that I I uploaded. It also should be a visual analysis of the photo. Be sure to answer the questions that the professor asked in the instructions.
