Today we are going to review how to evaluate a work of art. You always start with identifying what you know. List all of the things that you know about the artwork. Include all of details and visual elements. During this portion do not draw any conclusions or guess what the art work is about.
know |nō|verb ( past knew |n(y)o͞o|; past participleknown |nōn| )1 [ with clause ] be aware of throughobservation, inquiry, or information
Next, you will infer, or draw conclusions based on what you know about the artwork. This is the portion where you make up a story about what the artist is trying to convey.
infer |inˈfər|
verb ( infers, inferring , inferred ) [ with obj. ]deduce or conclude (information) from evidence andreasoning rather than from explicit statements: [ withclause ] : from these facts we can infer that crime has been increasing.
Finally, you will look more closely at the artwork and decide what elements and principles of art arebeing used. Write about each one that is used and describe how it is used to enhance the artwork.
ELEMENTS OF ART: Line, Shape, Form, Value, Color, Texture, Space
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN: Balance, Unity, Movement, Pattern, Repetition, Variety, Emphasis
So for your test tomorrow, you will be writing a paper over a work of art that will be posted to theart blog. You will need to have 3 paragraphs for this paper. It should be at least one page!
1. The first paragraph deals with what you know only.
2. The next paragraph is based on your opinions and will include your interpretation what artwork is about.
3. The final paragraph is your critique on how the elements and principles were used.
This is a TEST GRADE and many of you need this grade to help you pass for the 6 weeks!!! You will have all period Thursday, Thursday night for homework, and Friday to complete this assignment, if needed.
