Your description should focus on what you can visually observe in the selected artwork; the formal analysis of these observations will come into play in the body of your essay. You will engage in research to find the responses to some of these questions.What is the complete title of the artwork?Who is/are the artist(s) who created the artwork?When was the artwork created?Where was the artwork created?Where is the artwork located now?What kind of artwork is it (2D, 3D, sculpture, photograph, painting, print, etc.)?What material(s) were used in the creation of the artwork?Briefly describe the artwork. You’re not analyzing the work yet, you’re simply describing the people, places, or things you see in your selected artwork for the reader.Formal Analysis – Your ApproachA formal analysis of a work of art can yield many examples of each element and principle. Remember that some elements and principles play more substantial roles than others in an artwork’s composition. Refer back to this formal analysis worksheet and use it as a guide to formulate the written version of your analysis. At a minimum, you will identify the three most important elements and/or principles that contribute to the overall composition of your work.Below you will find a list of the elements of art and principles of design. View this list as a point of reference and consider how it may apply to your selected artwork. Be judicious with your analysis and evaluate which elements and principles you need to focus on and which require less attention. You may also revisit chapters 4 & 5 that cover the elements and the principles of design. You may also want to re-watch the videos from Module 2.NOTE: THE INFORMATION LISTED BELOW IS NOT A CHECKLIST.Formal Analysis (Body): Elements of Art The elements of art are the building blocks used by artists to compose their artworks. It is possible to find many examples of each element of art within the composition of your selected artwork. You will need to determine which examples for each listed element are the most important in contributing to the visual legibility of the artwork.1) What is the work’s mode of representation (naturalistic, abstract, nonrepresentational)? Does the artwork align to the stylistic approach of a particular art movement or period? How so?2) Line. Line Quality (weight: heavy, light, thick, thin). Line Type (outline, contour, cross-contour, directional, implied). [Line is a mark with greater length than width. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal; straight or curved; thick or thin.]3) Shape (geometric, organic). [Shape is a closed line. Shapes can be geometric, like squares, triangles and circles; or organic, like free-form or natural shapes. Shapes are flat and express length and width.]4) Form (mass, volume). [Forms are three-dimensional shapes expressing length, width, and depth and implied or actual mass. Balls, cylinders, boxes, and pyramids are forms.] How is form implied in a 2-dimensional artwork? If you’re analyzing a sculptural artwork (3-D), what is the relationship between the form of your selected sculpture and the space it inhabits?5) Space. Depth (deep, shallow, actual, illusionistic/implied). [Space is the area between and around objects. The space around objects is often called negative space; negative space has shape.] How is space informed by the figure/ground relationship of the selected artwork? Real space is three-dimensional. Space in a 2-dimensional artwork is only an illusion created by the artist. How is this illusion created? What strategies are leveraged by your artist to accomplish this: one-point or two-point linear perspective? Atmospheric perspective? Overlapping and scale shifts?6) Color (hue, value, and intensity). Color Harmony/Palette (triadic, monochromatic, analogous, etc.). [Color is light reflected off of objects. Color has three main characteristics: hue (the name of the color, such as red, green, blue, etc.), value (how light or dark it is), and intensity (how bright or dull it is). Color temperature: warm/cold]6) Texture (interactive, actual, visual). [Texture is the surface quality that can be seen and felt. Textures can be rough or smooth, soft or hard. Textures in 2-dimensional works may be implied; for example, a drawing of a porcupine may look prickly, but if you touch the drawing, the paper is still smooth.]Formal Analysis (Body) - Principles of Design AnalysisThe principles of design are the strategies deployed by artists as they use the elements of art (the building blocks) in composing their artwork. Every artist will choose different methods of deploying the principles of design, in concert with the elements of art, to achieve specific visual effects. Analyze and describe each of the following principles as they apply to your chosen artwork.1) Compositional Structure – Describe the compositional structure of the artwork. Which implied lines and/or implied shapes are contributing to the compositional structure of the overall work?2) Balance. [Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space.] What kind of balance is exemplified by your selected artwork(symmetrical/asymmetrical/radial)? How does the artist balance the visual weight in the composition?3) Emphasis/Focal Point(s). [Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention and draws the viewer’s eye.] In some artworks, the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc. What areas of your artwork’s composition are emphasized, and how does the artist achieve this?4) Movement. [Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas.] Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art. In most cases, movement is implied, but kinetic sculptures possess actual moving parts. If your artwork includes actual moving parts, how are these moving parts useful in understanding the artwork or the artist’s intent?) Rhythm. [Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement.] Rhythm may create a mood like music or dancing, or help your eye jump through the composition. To keep rhythm exciting and active, a greater use of variety may be present5) Pattern. [Pattern is the repetition of an object or symbol all over the work of art.] What role is the pattern playing in the composition?6) Proportion/Scale. [Proportion is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or numbers) relate well with each other. When drawing the human figure, proportion can refer to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body. Scale suggests an increase or decrease in the size of an object without any modifications to its proportions.] Is there a natural or fantastic use of proportion or scale within your artwork? What effect does this lend to the overall composition of your artwork?7) Variety. [Variety is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention and to guide the viewer’s eye through and around the work of art.] Variety may be created when contrasting two distinctly unified areas. For example, placing an area unified with polka dots next to another area unified with stripes.8) Unity. [Unity is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which may contribute to a sense of completeness.] It’s also possible to identify unified sections of an artwork within a varied composition. For example, the colors and textures of tree leaves may be unified. The colors and textures of the tree trunk and limbs may also be unified. You will find variety and contrast when you compare the color and textures of the leaves to those of the trunk and limbs.Conclusion - Personal Evaluation Please be thorough and thoughtful with your conclusion. The strength of a good essay is a strong introduction, a well-organized body, and a thought-provoking conclusion.What drew you to this artwork? Why did you choose this artwork over others?What is one thing you enjoy about the artwork and why?What personal connections did you make to the content/subject matter of the work?Safe Assign You will submit your paper online via your respective Blackboard course as a Word Document.
