Question: Find three artworks that you like from different floors of the JPL library. Try to carefully take the best possible picture of each artwork to include in your paper.
You will turn in a typed paper that includes a picture of each of the 3 artworks with short answers to the following questions under each artwork:
1. Do you think this is a painting, drawing, print, photograph, or "other"? There are no labels, so make an educated guess.
2. Identify Style: Abstract, Representational or both (exaggerated but recognizable)
3. Write 2-3 descriptive sentences that identify the 2 most prominent FORMAL ELEMENTS used in the artwork (Line: precise, gestural, etc..; Shape-geometric or organic, Space: positive & negative space, linear perspective, atmospheric perspective, Texture-actual or implied, COLOR (primary, secondary, intermediate, warm or cool), Value, etc.
4. Identify the SUBJECT MATTER (what is literally depicted).
5. Write 2 - 3 sentences that interpret the CONTENT (what meaning, idea, or story do you think the artwork is communicating?.. how did you arrive at that decision? )
