2. Movements Reflected in Art Work
Refer to the assigned reading from the textbook and required videos as examples of how to interpret works of art.
Select a work of art or architecture from a movement other than the movement described in the "Movements in Art" Discussion. Download an image of the artwork from WikiMedia Commons or the image resources in Week One Recommended Resources.
Create a free ThingLink account and use the program to identify and describe at least four connections between the work of art and the movement. For help, refer to the ThingLink guide or the ThingLink Help Center.
Upload your selected image of the work of art to ThingLink. Be sure to title the project with the name of the work.
Tag at least four characteristics of the work of art that are significant to the characteristics of the movement. In your tag, explain how the characteristics are related, using appropriate art terminology. Use the Le Moulin de la Galette as reference.
Once you complete this task, paste the URL to your tagged ThingLink image in your discussion post. Be sure to cite the artwork.
