INSTRUCTIONs
A work of art is the product of the dynamic interrelationships between the various art elements and principles. As you analyze the artwork, ask yourself why the artist made such choices. By considering the formal elements and principles of design involved, you can make yourself look more closely at the work of art, and thus understand more fully the artistís intended vision, as well as noticing how the work reflects the time and place from whence it came.
You must address ALL the prompts below within your essay, but your response need not be organized in the exact order given. Your paper must include proper introductory and concluding paragraphs.
Formal Analysis (this section should be the ìmeatî of your paper): Find any work of art in the museum that interests you. You will engage in a thorough visual analysis of that work. Follow the guidelines below.
Identify the work fully (artist name if known, title if available, time period or date, medium, dimensions or approximate dimensions).
Provide a brief description of the subject matter of the work.
Analyze, describe, and discuss the work in terms of three (3) formal elements of art.
Analyze, describe, and discuss the works’ composition using three (3) principles of design.
**IMPORTANT: It is expected that the analysis of the workís formal elements and principles of design be the most in-depth and therefore most time should be spent on this section. You must demonstrate your understanding of the concepts learned in the course by utilizing appropriate course vocabulary within your analysis. Please use precise terminology associated with the elements and principles chosen. Failure to do so will result in a reduced grade. Consult the chapters and course material from Module 2.
o Spend a good amount of time looking at the work and taking notes. It is helpful to provide the reader with an overall picture of the work you are describing. You may find it useful to pretend you are describing the work to someone who cannot see, but must create an impression of the work based solely on your words. Clearly and articulately analyze and describe the formal elements and principles of design that you see in the work. There may be many, but be selective and try to determine the most significant elements of composition. Remember to utilize key terms from the textbook associated with the specific elements/principles chosen.
Is the work non-objective, representational, figurative, or abstract? Note that a work of art can fall into more than one of these categories. Please explain fully and in a way that demonstrates you have a correct understanding of the term(s) as it relates to our course content.
Discussion of Medium: Examine your artwork further by discussing the medium used and the artist’s technique and application of materials. Is the object two- or three-dimensional? What limitations, if any, might the chosen medium create for the artist? Below are some further questions to consider, depending on the type of medium employed. See Part Two of your textbook (Media & Processes) for further information on art materials and media.
Page 2 of 3
Painting: How did the type of paint affect the strokes the artist could make? Was it fresco, oil, tempera, or watercolor? Was it a fast-drying paint that allowed little time to make changes? What kind of textures and lines was the artist able to create with this medium? Does it lend a shiny or flat look? How durable was the medium?
Does the work look the same today as when the artist painted it?
Drawing: Consider the materials utilized: metal point, chalk, charcoal, graphite, crayon, pastel, ink, and wash. Is the artist able to make controlled strokes with this medium? Would the tool create a thick or thin, defined or blurred line? Was the drawing intended to be a work of art in itself, or is it a study for another work, a peek into the artist’s creative process?
Printmaking: What is the process the artist undertook to create this work? Did he or she need to carve or etch?
Did the medium require a steady hand? Strength or patience?
Photography: What is the process the artist undertook to create this work? Is it an example of early photography or more recent processes? Is it created from digital, film or other processes? Documentary? Staged?
Sculpture: Is the sculpture high or low relief, or can we see it in the round? What challenges did the material present to the artist? Was the work created through a subtractive process or an additive one? What tools did the artist use to create the form? Is your work created from constructing or assembling things together?
Craft: Is it made of fiber, textile, ceramics, metalwork, glass, etc? Is the art object considered craft or fine art?
Why? Can works of fine art be utilitarian, in your opinion?
Alternative media and processes: Is your work a video, sound art, interactive, a work of conceptual art or even a performance piece? How does it differ from traditional works of art? Did you encounter the actual work itself, or is it documentation of an event or a time-based piece? Do you find it easier or more difficult to apply a formal analysis to this type of work? Explain.
III. Interpretation: This is the part of the paper where you go beyond description and offer a conclusion and your own informed opinion about the work.
Consider how the formal aspects of the work and the subject matter work together to produce significant meaning.
How did the artist’s choice of materials and medium affect its message and reception?
What questions does the work raise or leave you with, if any? Is it possible to make a reasoned statement about the artist’s aim?
Describe your personal reaction to the work. Did a visual analysis change your first reaction and interpretation of the work?

1.ó There is a clear sociological distinction between the cultural manifestations from the 1980’s studied in class and Ray Loriga’s novel. My brother’s gun (1994). It was published when Spain finally accomplished its transition. While it could be stated that during the 1980’s the traumatic Francoist past was present within the cultural manifestations from that period, Loriga a paradigm of the Generation X in Spain showcases a culture rejects any trace of history and depicts events as if they were recorded with a video-camera. This a formal characteristic that we studied at class, when we discussed how My Brother’s Gun plot is not conventional as it is characterized by its puzzling, fractured form, unresolved and even unclear actions. This is a formal manifestation of a globalized and postmodern culture, an epoch in which current theories endorse a conception about the end of art, the novel, the knowledge, representation of history and the dissolution or impossibility to represent the subject by means of discursive practices. At the same time, within this critical context, accepted meanings are plundered and laid bare, resulting in problems of legitimating reality. Furthermore, Loriga’s fiction belongs to an epoch in which theoreticians, such as Baudrillard, claim that there exists a crisis of representation, in particular, by the rising control of TV and its power to manipulating what is thought to be the real world, which turns out to be a simulacra.
First, you need to bear in mind the complex historical and political framework of Spain in the year 1994. Second, bear in mind Kathryn Everly’s argument in television and the Power of Image in CaÌdos del cielo and La pistola de mi hermano by Ray Loriga, where she discusses the role of the image and television within Loriga’s novel (the article also mentions Loriga’s own filmic adaptation [La pistola de mi hermano] of his novel but you just need to focus on what Everly says in regards to the novel: CaÌdos del cielo/My brother’s gun). How do you think the given fragments from My Brother’s Gun reflect the fake image of the killer as the Angel of Death(#2 #6) #14)? Does the idea of violence help the reader to correct the official truth about the events as well as the purpose of the killer (#14 #28))?
Parallel to this, in Beauty and Death as Simulacra in Ray Loriga’s CaÌdos del Cielo [My brother’s gun] and El hombre que invent Manhattan [another novel by the author; again, you just need to concentrate on what Everly argues in relation with Loriga’s My brother’s gun [CaÌdos del Cielo] Everly states that the collective agency of television produces an image of the assassin that mystifies his very existence. Why do you think the TV fabricates this image of the older brother (#22)? Does the narrator understand the violent acts of his brother in the same way as the TV (#21 # 28)? Why did the police reacted in such a violent way at the end of the older brother’s journey (#43 # 44 # 45 #46 #47 #48)? According to your point of view, who do you think is more free, the older brother or the rest of the society that he finds on the beach or attends to the TV Show Because we are all in this together?
You have to obviously create an answer taking into consideration the relevance of the selected fragments in relation with the plot of the novel. For this reason, it is highly important to bear in mind the totality of Loriga’s text. At the same time, it is equally important to support your answer by incorporating a textual discussion as well as the historical framework of Loriga’s novel.

Pick two of the cultures we have studied so far in our course (chapters 1 – 7):
Mesopotamia, Africa, India, China, Greece, the Alexandrian empires, Rome, and the Americas. Use specific information from your textbook and other sources to compare two of these ancient cultures.
Compare the cultures by choosing one specific topic on which to base your comparison. Use this topic consistently across both cultures. This can be done for many different kinds of art, literature, religion, government, philosophy, technology, etc. (any topics related to the arts and humanities), but you must narrow the focus down to a specific aspect of these arts.
Avoid general overviews of broad topics: Try to focus on one specific work or example for each culture – avoid overviews with many examples. In other words, compare one specific piece of art to another specific piece of art and avoid filling your paper with lots of different examples. If you choose a specific type of artwork for comparison, pick artworks from each culture with similar themes or cultural meanings.
Here are some examples:
compare politics in one culture to politics in the other, but only use one specific example for each – a specific writing, a specific political system and how it works, or a specific collection of laws
compare one specific work of architecture or building in a culture to one specific work of architecture in another.
compare religious literature between two cultures by comparing one specific religious work in a culture to one specific religious work in another, but avoid comparisons of religious literature to non-religious literature.
compare sculpture between two cultures by using a specific work for each culture, but avoid comparing sculpture in one culture to some other medium (like painting) in the other.
Historical Context: Keep your topics limited to ancient history and examples from the textbook. It is a good idea to keep in mind the dates, or order in history, of your topics. You can use whatever order suites your writing style to discuss topics, but as a general suggestion keep in mind the time period of your examples — Greek culture is older and flourished before the Romans. For this reason, you may want to start with Greece even if you are jumping back and forth with your comparisons.
Write at least 500 words per culture (x2 = 1000 words total for the entire assignment).
Links to Rice Library databases for the humanities are included in the Blackboard menu tab labeled Web Resources. Use at least 5 sources for this assignment (3 sources per culture, but you can use your Fiero E-text for both cultures)
Assignments will be graded on:
1. Word Count (points deducted for work under 1000 words in length) – minimum 1000 words total (500 words per culture). This is the minimum word requirement to be considered for an A.
2. Topics (25 points) – be consistent with your topics and establish direct topic-to-topic comparisons across cultures. Focus on a few specific examples and avoid general over-views of broad topics.
3. Content (25 points) -demonstrate knowledge of your topics and the general historical context of your topics with relevant information from quality sources (see Sources below).
4. Sources (50 points or 10 points per source) ñ 5 sources are required for this assignment (3 sources per culture, but you can use your Fiero E-text for both cultures).
1. Citations – MLA format is recommended (see Web Resources): in-text citations with a works cited at the end. Include page numbers (for your E-text) or in-text citations for all information!
2. Use quality sources – see Web Resources on the blackboard menu for help with sources. Demonstration of understanding of readings and sources by citing specific information. Personal views must also be supported with specific information from the readings or sources
