Write a three page term paper analyzing the topic "The Dance" and "Still Life with Dance" by Henri Matisse. Your paper must be written to the thesis proposed. In analyzing the works of a given artist, remember that your interpretation is not what is being graded: it the support of your interpretation. Do not worry that you are not a renowned art critic - you are writing about what you believe the artist has conveyed based on what you know and have discovered from the writings of others to be true of the artist. Your interpretation is the key. Consider the impact of an artist's choice (or lack) of color or form, and how that relates to your thesis. Consider if a painting conveys weight, if a sculpture conveys mood, if a performance evokes social consciousness, or if a structure mimics motion. What does the work make you think and feel? This is the basis for your analysis.
