2012-2013 Second Assignment

This assignment is due by Sunday July 29th at Midnight emailed to me at christopher.clarke@redclay.k12.de.us

READING

In "Learning to Look at Paintings", read:

Chapter 1: Composition
Chapter 2: Space
Chapter 3: Form

In "Gospel Figures in Art", read pages 1-165 (many pages are just pictures)
In "Gods and Heroes in Art", read pages 1-188 (many pages are just pictures)

WRITING

This assignment will be 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 COMPOSITION (Pages 1-28).

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 SPACE (Pages 29-55).

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 FORM (Pages 56-87).

Each analysis should be 1-2 paragraphs in length. List the work and page # at the top of each analysis (ex. Anthony van Dyck, Flagellation, 1620. Pg. 277 in Gospels). In each analysis compare/contrast the work to the ones listed as examples in that chapter and the other 3 works you are analyzing. Analyze only the qualities from that chapter! (Ex. If you are writing using the FORM chapter don't talk about the subject matter of the work...) Correct spelling and grammar will be expected on the AP test and for all assignments in this course. Proffread everthing ;)

I will post an example paragraph to help guide you. Email me or post on the blog any questions you have! Feel free to turn in your work before the due date as well.  Once I get your work, I'll create notes and send it back to you so your next assignment can be even better.  Do your best! Good luck!

Sincerely,
Mr. Clarke
