There are two parts to this assignment. First, after reading the chapter on painting, identify your favorite medium in painting.
In 1 to 2 paragraphs, briefly discuss how it differs from other mediums and the advantages and disadvantages of using that
medium.
Next, you will select a painting in your preferred medium from an online museum to research and then discuss that painting
as you would with others.
The lesson for this unit went into depth on three approaches you can take when discussing artwork: technical, historical,
and observational. You will begin your paper with an introduction that includes identifying the approach you will take and why
you chose that approach.
Then, discuss your selected painting and its visual elements using your chosen approach. Include two other artworks that
are similar in style, era, or subject matter as your painting and discuss the similarities. Finally, end your discussion with a
question for your audience.
The body of your essay must be at least three full pages of writing. It should be 12-point, Times New Roman font. Include an
image of the painting you are discussing at the end of your written paper as Appendix A. The title page (if used), Appendix,
and reference page do not count toward the minimum page requirement.

If the awareness such acts of overzealous reconstruction bring is ultimately beneficial to a site or ancient culture, is it okay?

In this week’s lecture, we talked a bit about conservation versus reconstruction or restoration. While the former usually focuses on preserving objects and architecture as they exist to be viewed and appreciated in context, the latter runs a risk of reinterpretation or at the very least reimagining the ancient and thus creating something that doesn’t truly reflect the people who originally made them.
Still, it often seems that such heavily “restored” objects and sights capture the imaginations and interests of modern viewers, thus bringing more attention, and intimately money, to the cause of preservation and education.
Which brings us to the question of the week: If the awareness such acts of overzealous reconstruction bring is ultimately beneficial to a site or ancient culture, is it okay? Or is no amount of money and press worth the destruction of history and/or accuracy?
Don’t forget to explain your stance; don’t just say which side of the debate you stand behind.

Flower Power unravels the complex history of the fabric, from its original conception based on Indonesian design, to its introduction to the African colonies in the 19th century, and its re-appropriation as a symbol of Black power and African independence in the 1960s.
Central to the exhibition is Woman Shooting Cherry Blossom (2019), a new work by Shonibare tracing the spread of the Edwardian dress in Dutch-wax fabric around the globe, reflecting the 19th century’s globalised economy as well as the predominance of colonialism in this era. The cherry blossom shooting out of the rifle represents the postcolonial hybridisation of female identities emerging from the historical confines of Meiji Japan.

A formal analysis is a detailed descriiption of the “formal” qualities of an artwork. This exercise requires a long and sustained observation and descriiption of the art piece’s individual formal elements, such as subject, composition, pose, proportions, lines, space, texture, light and shadow, size, color, mood. A formal analysis assumes that a work of art has a meaning intended by the artist, and that this meaning can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before, so as to have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a descriiption of the work. It should also include a thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this work all about? The thesis statement is an important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriiptive paper.

It is important to remember that your interest here is strictly formal; NO RESEARCH IS TO BE USED IN THIS PAPER. In other words, you are strictly relying on your ability to visually ‘read’ a work of art and make interpretations about it based on your analysis of it. Please use descriiptive language and adjectives to describe your work. Begin with a general descriiption of the work, and then move on to the more specific elements.
