\nDescribe a work of art in one to two pages (no less, no more);<\/p>\n
Start your description with materials (marble, bronze, fresco, etc), size (ignore the frame or pedestal), and palette (colors).<\/p>\n
Be sure to pay close attention to the sculptor’s touch or the painter’s brushstroke: that is, address the physical reality of the object before you join any narrative that is represented.<\/p>\n
Next, consider the overall composition. Step back and realize that it is a composition with figures in a certain setting (such as landscape or interior).<\/p>\n
Note whether the figures are full-length or cut-off, clothed or nude; then make note of where the figures are placed in the composition (center or off-center).<\/p>\n
If the work is a sculpture, be sure to look at it from all sides; if an out-of-doors sculpture, be sure to take its site into consideration. Are some figures larger than others.<\/p>\n
Determine what is of primary, secondary, and tertiary importance in the work as a whole, and organize your description accordingly. In other words, do not describe the work simply from left to right, nor from top to bottom.<\/p>\n
Attention! Ignore the following at the peril of a markdown! The paper should be between one to two pages in length. Papers that are too short will have to be rewritten to receive a grade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
