No Class on Thursday, April 6, 2017

We will NOT be meeting today.

Finish the War and Art assignment. It will count as a work in progress. The art you select must relate to the war topic you have chosen.

This is the assignment. Answer the questions and post in CANVAS. Also, post a URL link to  your art or post a copy of the art.

Looking at Art -

  • What is the title of the work? How does the title help you to understand the message? What is the message?
  • What is the most obvious image in the work. To where is your eye drawn?
  • Look at the colors. Are they symbolic? Would the message be different if the colors were different? Explain.
  • Study the shading and shadowing. How do these elements impact the overall message?
  • Who is the artist? When was the work created? Is the artist's message about a specific event in the history of war? What was going on in the world when the work was created? Is the art universal - speaks to people of all times and in all places in all wars, or is it limited to the audience for whom it was created?
  • How does the work relate war  in the 20th and 21st centuries?      

Let me know if you have questions.

Enjoy the gift of time!
