MLAEach student will be assigned an artist to

research whose artwork may/or may not be in the textbook “Living

with Art”. ( Artist: Diego Rivera)

You

will compare/contrast two works by the artist an early work and late period

artwork.

1.

First, spend time looking thoroughly at the

work of art, and then write an analysis of it. Think in terms of

subject, form, and content.

Also,

include some information about the artist and the historical period he/she

represented.

As you analyze, look for how the elements of

art and the principles of design are used.

-How

is the artist using shape, color, line, space, and texture?

-How is the piece balanced? What rhythms are

established? Do you get a sense of movement? -How

is the artist (he/she) using these formal aspects to help convey a mood or idea?

What

do you think is the purpose of making the piece?

What

do you think they were trying to say?

2. Find another work by the artist (could be

similar in some way or different) and analyze the piece. For example,

two still-life’s, portraits, landscapes, or works with a similar theme, like

mother and child, the crucifixion, war, etc. look at both, compare, and contrast the

two.

Again, think in terms of form, subject, and

content. How are they similar? In what ways are they different? Be specific.

3.

Respond to these works of art, both

critically and personally. Do you think they are equally successful as works

of art? Why? How do they make you feel? Do you like them? Why or why not?
