Here is the assignment from my professor:
Think of this assignment like you are writing an article for a
magazine/blog, more than you are writing a college paper. Have fun with
it and talk to me with your own opinions.
For this 500 word article write the following in the following order:
You must include an image of the artwork on top of your paper.
Below the art image you will only write the Artist’s name, title of the work, materials used, date or time period. (This information will not count as part of the 500 word count for the paper, so do not write a paragraph)
Start your article/paper by including
any basic relevant background information about the artist, culture,
ethnic group, or art movement. Do not write more than a paragraph for this section. NO PLAGIARISM!!! Make sure to cite any quotations and paraphrase any information.
In
your own words, describe the artwork: This is the most important part
of the paper where you will get the most points. Use art descriptive art words that we have learned in this
class to describe the work.(elegant, graceful, moving, mention the materials used, the phrase “utilizes a palette of” pertaining to the color palette.
Discuss your personal response to the artwork and explain why you selected it as your favorite. This is the second most important part of the paper where you will get the most points.
