Write up an Art Analysis Assignment | Custom Homework Help

Part A: Theme and Visual Analysis
Find an artist that you like using one of the resources that I have linked. Art 21 Would be a good choice for starting out.
Write a visual analysis of one of their works entirely in your own words, at least 150 words.
Then list three themes (the color blue, nautical scenes, police brutality, big charcoal drawings, contemporary photographs by women thick oil paintings, self-portraits, family dinners, human-machine hybrids, etc.)  that this work could connect into.

Next week we will be workshopping one anothers’ writeups in class.

See links to artworks at the bottom of this assignment.

PART B: Curating on a Theme (short answers)

Watch one or more of these short videos by Artists Curating from the Guggenheim’s Collection

Carrie Mae Weems on the Guggenheim Collection

Paul Chan on the Guggenheim Collection

Richard Prince on the Guggenheim Collection

Julie Mehretu on the Guggenheim Collection

1.After hearing about another curator’s process, what theme do you think you’d like to focus on for your final project? Did you get any ideas from the artist’s curators on how you might find other works to fit into your chosen theme?

Part C: Read up on another Medium (Short Answer)
Read the Artforms chapter on a medium that we haven’t covered up to this point (Moving Image, Printmaking, Drawing) .

Describe in your own words what you think the central problems and challenges of this medium are. What makes a successful artwork in this medium?
