Question Description
In Your Community: Looking at ArtYou will want to plan for this assignment in advance because it requires you to do fieldwork! You will visit an art institution of your choice and locate one work of art that is ofinterest to you. This can be in any media: photography, painting, sculpture, video, etc.Once you have found the work you plan to write on there are two key components toconsider for your paper:1. Visual Analysis: A visual analysis is a purposeful description of a single work of artproviding details of the visual components and artistic choices. The goal for the first part ofthis assignment is to describe the work in detail using the vocabulary learned through thestudy of art in this course. You will need to take time to observe the work you havechosen.In this part you will want to focus on the visual elements of the work such as forms,shapes, expressions, posture, colours/shadow, lines, textures, technical aspects, and thearrangement or composition. You will take account of the materials used, the subjectmatter and the style. You will want to call attention to how the formal aspects help toconvey or make meaning in the work.2. Interpretation: For the second part of the assignment you will need to interpret thework. What does it mean? What ideas are conveyed, implied or suggested? Does themedium affect the meaning, if so explain how. In your analysis you will relate the work toat least 2 course ideas/concepts (if you are unsure what course concepts are see the keyterms for each week at the top of each Module, i.e. the gaze, Orientalism, postmodernism,appropriation). The interpretation of the work of art and application of course conceptsshould constitute the majority of your writing for this assignment.This is intended to be an exercise in looking and applying course material. If you dooutside research for your paper you will need to cite your sources and provide abibliography. Please take note: If you consult didactic panels, printed brochures orpublications, or interview employees at an institution, be sure to cite this in footnotes andinclude a bibliography.
