Writing Homework Help

Over the course of our semester we’ve proposed many definitions for art, and when faced with this question as an artist I often come back to this poem by Josef Albers (Links to an external site.):Choose a Passage & Interpret

• For your final assignment pick one passage of the Albers’ poem you feel captures an aspect or definition of art that has resonated with you this semester.
• Begin by elaborating on his definition. For instance, if you choose to write about “The Measure of Art”, explain in your own words what you think he means by “The ratio of effort to effect”.

Illustrate with Artist Samples

• Next, think about which art styles or artists have we looked at this semester whose work would qualify as good examples for your interpretation.
• Pick two artists we have discussed this semester to use as examples to illustrate your ideas.
• For instance, if you choose to write about the “The Aim of Art” explain which artists we looked at this semester whose work seems to deal with the “Revelation and evocation of vision”. And so on.
• Select artists with contrasting styles and whose works provide different perspective on your chosen passage.
• For each artist, describe 2-3 formal elements present in their work that you feel supports your connection to the poem passage
