This assignment is due by August 15th at Midnight emailed to me at christopher.clarke@redclay.k12.de.us
READING
In "Learning to Look at Paintings", read:
Chapter 4: Tone
Chapter 5: Colour
Chapter 6: Subject-matter
In "Gospel Figures in Art", read pages 167-375 (many pages are just pictures)
In "Gods and Heroes in Art", read pages 189-375 (many pages are just pictures)
WRITING
This assignment will be more practice in formal analysis of works.
Choose 4 works from your reading in "Gods" or "Gospels" and write an analysis of each based on the "Learning to Look at Paintings" chapter on TONE (Pages 88-117).
Choose 4 works from your reading in "Gods" or "Gospels" and write an analysis of each based on the "Learning to Look at Paintings" chapter on COLOUR (Pages 118-134).
Choose 4 works from your reading in "Gods" or "Gospels" and write an analysis of each based on the "Learning to Look at Paintings" chapter on SUBJECT MATTER (Pages 135-174).
The instructions for the writing component are the exact same as the first major assignment. Don't forget that I will be assessing you based on the Gods, Gospels, and Writing about Art Readings when we return to school, so make sure you get them done before then! After this assignment there is only an essay left to complete for summer work, hopefully that is somewhat encouraging. Make sure you ask questions if you need help with anything! Good luck!
Sincerely,
Mr. Clarke

The chapter on Subject Matter discusses historical context and the way in which works were meant to be presented. Should we research works from Gods and Heroes in Art and Gospel Figures in Art and touch on that in our formal analyses for that chapter?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, good question Sam!
