Assignment Topic:
Each student will be assigned an artist to research whose artwork may/or may not be in the textbook “Living with Art”.You will compare/contrast two works by the artist an early work and late period artwork.
( Artist: Diego Rivera)
You
will compare/contrast two works by the artist an early work and late period
artwork.
1.
First, spend time looking thoroughly at the
work of art, and then write an analysis of it. Think in terms of
subject, form, and content.
Also,
include some information about the artist and the historical period he/she
represented.
As you analyze, look for how the elements of
art and the principles of design are used.
-How
is the artist using shape, color, line, space, and texture?
-How is the piece balanced? What rhythms are
established? Do you get a sense of movement? -How
is the artist (he/she) using these formal aspects to help convey a mood or idea?
What
do you think is the purpose of making the piece?
What
do you think they were trying to say?
2. Find another work by the artist (could be
similar in some way or different) and analyze the piece. For example,
two still-life’s, portraits, landscapes, or works with a similar theme, like
mother and child, the crucifixion, war, etc. look at both, compare, and contrast the
two.
Again, think in terms of form, subject, and
content. How are they similar? In what ways are they different? Be specific.
3.
Respond to these works of art, both
critically and personally. Do you think they are equally successful as works
of art? Why? How do they make you feel? Do you like them? Why or why not?
