In an essay format and in your own words, compare and contrast both paintings in terms of the history, medium, technique, and a number of elements (and/or principles) of design of your choice that you have learned about thus far in this course. For example, what specific colors, shapes, and patterns are used? Make sure that you name and briefly define the elements and/or principles of design.
Next, provide your own objective analysis of whether you believe each painting is skillful or unskillful.
Then explain whether or not each painting appeals to you and why. Do you like or dislike what you see?
Last, attach images of the two painting examples used in your analysis to your electronic transmission.
Also include the exact URLs (Uniform Resource Locators)/Web addresses for both works (e.g.: http://www.louvre.fr/llv/musee/visite_virtuelle.jsp?bmLocale=en(opens in a new tab)).
