The two paintings of The Judgment of Paris and Pastoral Concert, give a little reference. Sources one for each painting. Choose a pair of artworks from two different time periods (at least two hundred years apart) and cultures (For example: Italian and Spanish), and fall within our syllabus chronology and are NOT featured in your textbook. I want you to learn about something with which you are not familiar. Due to the current situation, students are not required to visit museums in person. I would, like you to select art objects presented on the websites of local museums such as The Getty Center, The Norton Simon, LACMA, MOCA, the California African American Museum, the Broad, etc. That way you can go visit them when museums reopen. If you want to write about the artwork at another museum that is okay. Google Arts & Culture (Links to an external site.) has a list of museums from all over the world. Make sure objects are from the time periods and cultures we cover in class. Step 2 Write a four-page analysis centered on your chosen objects using formal methods of analysis to compare and contrast them. The main thing I want to know about the objects is what interests determined the formal production of each work and how are those interests related to the time/era during which they were produced? How are they similar? How are they different and why? Description: A formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the works you have chosen. These forms give the works their expression, message, or meaning. A formal analysis assumes a work of art is (1) a constructed object (2) that has been created with a stable meaning (even though it might not be clear to the viewer) (3) that can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the works of art to someone who has never seen them before. How to do visual (formal) analysis by DR. BETH HARRIS and DR. STEVEN ZUCKER (Links to an external site.) Introduction to art historical analysis by DR. ROBERT GLASS (Links to an external site.) When your reader finishes reading your analysis, they should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. It should also include a thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What interests determined the production of each work? What is this work all about? The thesis statement is an important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriptive paper. FORMAT: your paper should be 4 pages long (EXCLUDING title page and images), double spaced, using Times New Roman font (12 pt) only and 1″ (inch) margins. Your paper must include digital images (photographs) of the main works you have selected with full image captions underneath them (artist, title, date, medium etc). In addition, make sure your paper includes a thesis statement. Your grade will reflect your ability to follow these guidelines. In the first paragraph, called the introduction, you will include: the name of the artists (if known), titles (which is underlined or italicized every time you use the title in your paper), date, and medium. what you think is the subject of each work a very brief description of the works thesis statement – usually the last line or so of your first paragraph. From that point, the rest of the formal analysis should include not only a description of the pieces, but especially those details of the works that have led you to come to your thesis. Yet, your paper should not be a random flow of ideas about the works (i.e. stream of consciousness writing). Rather, your paper should have a sense of order, moving purposefully through your description with regard to specific elements (ex: one paragraph may deal with composition, another with a description of the figures, another with the background, another about line, etc.). Finally, in your conclusion (the final paragraph) you should end your paper with a restatement of your thesis.
