Week 6 ICA Visual Analysis practice

Directions: This ICA will be a practice analysis for 1, 2, or potentially all 3 images you have selected. Make sure you are looking at the images on your computer or phone while doing this activity. You will start with 1 image and do the three steps. Then you could move on to another image when you feel comfortable. You will type your thoughts on this document. Step 1 and 2 could be lists, Step 3 should be more sentences.

You will email this document to me when we are finished, as well as your images

Step 1: Describe the image.

-Spend some time looking at and describing every aspect of this image. Remember to

look at all the elements we talked about in class. Refer back to the powerpoint in the week 6 folder. The more descriptive you are, the easier it will be to make connections.

Step 2: Analyze the elements you described.

-In this step, try to make connections from the composition and elements of design, (what you listed in step 1), establish some symbolism/metaphor, figure out some concepts/ideas that are portrayed in this image, work out the significance of the mood or emotions you get from this image, think about the context of the time and place it was created. Keep asking yourself, WHY? or SO WHAT?

Step 3: Establish a claim about this image.

-After describing and analyzing, you should in theory be able to verbalize what you think the message or meaning of this image is (whether or not it is the intended meaning from the creator). Spend several sentences describing this message and how you came to this conclusion.

Image 1

6 men. 4 workers men. 1 doctor or a researcher. And 1 maybe is an owner of the cow. And 1 animal, a cow. And a large panting of cows and nature. A museum

It shows that they are doing an experience using a cow looking in the paint of others cows.

. They are doing this experience in a museum because there are other paintings. And I think the cow is raised alone to get a good result of expectation.

The main point of this picture is the cow and the painting. And the second is the cow owner, he looks like he is going to understand what the cow feels and interacts.

They were covering the whole painting to surprise the cow from the painting to give a better reaction. They expect that the cow will do something weird like, try to talk, jumping, hit the painting. But It appears that’s nothing happened in the first while. The cow just look calmly and maybe took a few steps forward to see clearly. And the people there looked a little shocked about what they expected than happened.

Why they choose exactly a cow. Or do they tried this test with different animals?

What are the benefits of doing this experiences?

Why did they used a large painting?

Are cows at that time act un normally?
