Visual Elements of Art
Select one piece of art from the Gateway into the Visual Arts Resource or the online museums listed in that resource you would like to interpret. Use the Visual Elements of Art Required Resource to do the following:
Choose two visual elements of art you think you can use to interpret the piece of art you selected.
Briefly define each element of art using your own words. Please paraphrase and do not just copy the definitions from the readings and videos.
Apply each element of art to the piece of art you chose by explaining what you see in this piece of art that demonstrates that element. Be sure to show how something in this piece of art is an example of the elements you chose by specifically describing aspects of the art that show this element. For instance, describe the use of inorganic lines around trees in a painting.
Discuss in general what kinds of messages you think the artist could be trying to convey by using the elements of art you chose in specific ways. For instance, if an artist uses cool colors to portray a scene of war, what might this color choice be trying to say about the subject of the painting?
Make sure to cite any quotes or paraphrases in MLA style.
