Differentiate between the different degrees of representation that artists use to depict objects and figures, and write about the reasons artists choose these different types of representation. This assignment will encourage you to examine works of art and guide you to apply the concepts and vocabulary in the textbook.
1. Choose two works of art that represent a different degree of representation: idealization, naturalism, abstraction or non-representational/non-objective. Identify and include a photograph (a screenshot will do) of the work of art so that other students will know what you are writing about.
2. Explain the characteristics that make your first selected work of art an example of its type of representation.
3. Then discuss why the artists may have chosen that approach, and what the artist might have been trying to say.
