ART homework
JPL Library Critique Sheet:
Working in groups of 2 o3, you look at all the artwork on each floor of the JPL. Your group should turn in a typed and printed paper due Thursday 16, 2015.
Select 1 artworks that you like from each of the 3 different floors of the JPL library. Try to carefully take the best picture possible of each artwork to include in your paper and include short answers to the questions below for each artwork. I prefer each image to be about ½ of page and be in color and each image to be about ½ of page.
1. Do you think this is a painting, drawing, print, photograph, sculpture or “other”? There are no labels, so make an educated guess. 2. Identify Style: Do you think the work is Abstract or Representational/Realistic or somewhere in between? 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? )
Your group should turn in a typed and printed paper due Thursday 16, 2015.
I prefer each image to be about ½ of page and be in color and each image to be about ½ of page.
