In a 200 word essay explain how the piece you chose compares with other work by the same artist, then compare the piece with other examples of the same two-dimensional media. To do this assignment you will need to go on the internet and look at other images of works by the same artist and read the relevant chapter on 2 D media.
Assignment: Provide the name of the artist, the title of the work you selected as your favorite, and the date of the work. Then write a 200 word essay that explains why you responded to the work, if and how you like other works by the same artists in the same media, and then evaluate how the work stacks up in your mind as an example of creative use of the media. Write this essay in your own words as it will be submitted through TurnItIn.
