Visual Analysis | homework crew
[ad_1]
Your Museum paper will be a visual analysis of an American work of art in the permanentcollection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. It can be a painting, photograph, or sculpture –whatever appeals to you. The paper will be around 7 ½ pages, typed, and double-spaced(12-point font, Times New Roman). The assignment will be graded on form as well as contentso that spelling, punctuation, grammar, and syntax are to be considered with care. Pleaseinclude a reproduction of the work discussed with your paper.PART 1, formal analysis:This part of the paper requires a detailed description of the formal qualities of the art object(formal as in “related to the form,” not a black-tie dinner). In other words, you are looking at theindividual design elements, such as composition (arrangement of parts of or in the work),color, line, texture, scale, proportion, balance, contrast, and rhythm. Your primary concernin this part of the assignment is to attempt to explain how the artist arranges and uses thesevarious elements.Usually you have to go and look at the object for a long time and then write down what you see.As you will quickly see from the page length of the assignment, I expect a highly detaileddescription of the object. You might struggle with this assignment because it is hard to translatewhat you see into words– don’t give up, and take more notes than you might think you need.Iwant you to look, and look carefully. Think of the object as a series of decisions that an artistmade. Your job is to figure out and describe, explain, and interpret those decisions and why theartist may have made them. In writing a formal analysis, focus on creating a logical order so thatyour reader does not get lost. Do not ever assume that because your reader has seen the work,he or she knows what you are talking about. Here are a couple of options:-Summarize the overall appearance, then describe the details of the object-Describe the composition and then move on to a description of the materials used (acrylic,watercolor, plaster, etc.)-Begin discussing one side of the work and then move across the object to the other side-Describe things in the order in which they draw your eye around the object, starting with thefirst thing you notice and moving to the next-Then comment on the significance of what you have observedPART 2, stylistic analysis:Now look at your object and talk about style. Please discuss how your object fits into a particularstylistic category— for example, realism, abstraction, luminism, etc. You will still focus on theformal qualities of your object, but now you are expected to make a conclusion about thefollowing:-How does the work fit the stylistic category? Please explain by discussing at least three worksof art that we have talked about in our course.-And/or how does the work not fit the stylistic category? Please explain by discussing at leastthree works of art that we have talked about in our course.-How do different American works with the same type of content look totally different from eachother: For example, because of the style (for example, a painting may be a still life, but differentexamples show diverse approaches to three-dimensionality, etc.)A stylistic analysis will acquaint you with some of the larger historical trends and forces inAmerican culture and how they influence the development of Art.My Chosen Artwork:William Sidney Mount, The Power of Music, 1847.Artists and Their Works that My Class Has Discussed:William Sidney Mount, The Painter’s Triumph, 1838George Caleb Bingham, The Jolly Flatboatmen in Port, 1857James Audubon, Golden Eagle Female Adult, 1833-34Robert Scott Duncanson, Blue Hole, Little Miami River, 1851Carlton E.
