Grossmont College Bishapur and Ctesiphon Description Discussion
I’m working on a design question and need guidance to help me learn.
-
- Just like last week, you’ll need to write a paragraph that describes the lines, colors, shapes, patterns, light, contrast, perspective, scale, etc., in as much detail as possible to give your reader a good idea of the overall visual composition. Help your reader picture this work in their mind as accurately as possible.
- Explain the presence of these specific visual elements and/or stylistic features of the artwork with regard to its historical, cultural, political, and religious context in a second, detailed paragraph.
- Help the reader understand why the work looks the way it does based upon where and when it was made, who it was for, and who would have seen it.
- Consider and explain how you think the context of the work helped enhance the narrative quality as well, which basically means, how was this artwork able to tell a particular story or convey a specific message or theme about its subject because of where it would have been seen and who would have seen it originally.
- Provide a final, brief reflection (just a couple of sentences) on how you think understanding the context of an artwork enhances your experience of it as a viewer.
- This reflection can apply to images and artworks you see in your everyday life as well as the ones we have seen in our course so far.
