• Go online and search for information such as articles/interviews/videos about the Project/Piece and the Artist in general and

produce a review addressing the following:

• Give the review a title, that is not generic such as “art review”;;

• Provide some basic and relevant information about the artist(s);

• Describe the physical nature of the work: size (give a reference), material, mode of presentation, the nature of the exhibition space;

• Describe the work, the subject matter, the composition. (FORM+SUBJECT+CONTENT) – See presentation on Blackboard

• Analysis (how it is done and why do you think the artist chose this way):

the formal elements of the work: lines, perspective, figure/ground relationship, balance, proportion, movement, depth,

tone values, tone and shape relationships, etc. everything we talked about so far.

• Describe, in very specific terms, your response to and interest in this work. Why do you find it interesting,

what do you find that you did not expect, how does it influence your view of the work’s subject or of art in general?

(I know that I’m giving you only 3 artists to research, but for this assignment you have to accept these limitations)

• You may add your own sketches to accompany your writing, but the images do not count towards the three full pages of minimal requirement.

Attach the images on a separate sheet at the end.

• The draft must be as finished as possible, no “note to self, talk about balance here”.

• Please, DO NOT GIVE ME A MILLION QUOTES! – I need to see your own personal analysis of the Drawing Project!

There is no studio assignment (except for sketches – submit via Blackboard or email) this week since we are waiting on materials, work on the writing.

After the draft, you will get feedback and a preliminary grade, and have more time to finish the essay. Name your file as “Study Of A Drawing First Name Last Name”

Image files are on the Blackboard; For those of you who can’ download from Blackboard – links are provided above.
