This is an art class. You have to find an Artist listen to the Artist and answer these following questions below Choose two works, from different artist, from the LISTEN:
Table of Experts media presentations and drag both still shots of the works to your desktop.
In an MS word document include both images (1 MB each max). Under each image write the following:
Step 2 The title of the work and the artist. (Titles of artworks are capitalized and always italicized or in quotation marks.)
Describe what you see in the artworks that you can name. If you see un-namable shapes or objects (abstract objects), describe their colors, line quality, texture, shadows, variety, etc.
Which Essential Element or Principle of Art is most obvious to you in each work? (The LISTEN: Book has is the content area for understanding the Elements and Principles of Art.) What are the mediums the artists use? (Painting, sculpture, installation, video, photography, ceramics etc.?) According to the artist or expert talking, what is the meaning of the artwork? Which element or principle of art do you see that the artist uses to help convey that interpretation? Compare and contrast one element or principle in the artworks you chose - how are they similar and different?
Step 3 What changed in your understanding of each artwork after your observation and analysis? Save your edited word document on your desktop/hard drive.
Step 4 Highlight and select the images and the text from your word edited document, then choose copy. This holds them in memory while you return to the course and paste into the forum post location. This is where your class members post, too, so you can see how others have approached this same LISTEN activity.
