After you choose an artist formally analyze in depth one or two works of art by the artist you chose. Your analysis will include the following:

Analyze The Form of the work.
Analyze The Content of the work.
-Your paper must be between 2 - 5 pages double spaced (12pt font). In addition to your 2 - 5 pages please include a title page and a bibliography. (Making your final paper 4 - 7 pages).
Follow the Required Assignment Directions for both options listed below.
Assignment Option Two: Compare and Contrast
Compare and Contrast Melancholy and Mystery of a Street Giorgio de Chirico 1914 (pg 519) & Insurrection! (Our Tools Were Rudimentary, Yet We Pressed On) Kara Walker 2000 (pg 255)
Investigate the Subject, Form and Content of these two works of art and write about what they have in common and what about them makes them different. Some things will be obvious but investigate deeper and you will find things that might surprise you.
In this assignment you will first do a short Visual Analysis of both works of art and then discuss what formal elements they have in common and what formal elements are different between the two works.
-Your paper must be between 2 - 5 pages double spaced (12pt font). In addition to your 2 - 5 pages please include a title page and a bibliography. (Making your final paper 4 - 7 pages).
Follow the Required Assignment Directions for both options listed below.
Required Assignment Directions For Both Options
-Your paper must be between 2 - 5 pages double spaced (12pt font). In addition to your 2 - 5 pages please include a title page and a bibliography. (Making your final paper 4 - 7 pages).
-You are required to use at least one source other than your textbook. (you will have a minimum of 2 sources including your text book)
- Wikipedia is not an acceptable online source. For a few of the acceptable online sources please see the Other Resources link on the left side of the page. If you have found a source that you are not sure if it is acceptable please contact me.
- In both options you are asked to formally analyze Visual Art. The emphasis of your paper should be the work of art instead of any biographical information of the artist.
Please limit your biographical information to less than 5% of your paper. Your paper should take on a scholarly and analytical approach to the work of art. Personal opinion must be sacrificed (the likes and dislikes of art). The majority of your paper should be focused on exploring and analyzing the formal elements of the artist work.
