Overview:
For this "paper," you should pick ONE work of art from the Yale University Art Gallery and write THREE concise, compelling descriptions. Each description should contain the artist, title of the work (italicized) and the date. Your final submission should also include a digital reproduction of the object from the museum's website or from a photo. This assignment should be submitted through BB.
Directions:
In brief passages of approximately 30, 100, and two hundred fifty five words, describe your artwork as fully and completely as possible. Don't analyze, don't research. Think of these descriptions as textual substitutes for the artwork itself.
Hints:
Focus only on what you see. If you can't see it, don't say it! You shouldn't include any historical information except for the name/date/accession number of the artwork. Identify the materials if you know them.
Choose your language carefully in order to keep the description as concise, specific, and vivid as possible. Make every word count!
Begin the longer descriptions with the single-sentence overview and add additional detail, including artist/title/accession as appropriate.
Check the longer description for clarity; read it ALOUD to yourself. Be sure to proofread for errors.
