In this week's video, we're going through a step-by-step process of how to write this paper, and also how to encounter art more fully in general. The goal of a formal analysis is to explain the formal elements of a work of art, but also to consider the background and content of said work. In your paper, you'll be both interpreting a work of art and considering the formal elements. The frst step is a pretty obvious one. There's a topic list posted under the Analysis folder, labeled step 1. You'll choose one of these to write about. Also consider,do you want to write positive criticism or negative? Either is acceptable, and sometimes it's more fun to discuss why you dislike an artwork and why you think the worth of it is invalid. So once you've chosen your piece from the list, it's time to get started. This is all the information you'll need for your introduction. You ABSOLUTELY need to state the title, artist, date/period, and medium of the piece. This is also a good place to start discussing the artist or people who made the piece. If it's a work from an older period, you may not have an artist to discuss. That's fne. Instead you'll cover the people who made or commissioned the piece. You're giving it context.

Was it commissioned by a cardinal or king? Is it meant to delight or intimidate? These are important questions to be able to answer. The example I chose to walk us through this process is Apollo and Daphne. I just gave you the title. Now I'll offer the rest of the basic information: It was created by Bernini, made between 1622-1625 out of marble. It stands 96 inches tall. Notice how I italicized the title of the piece? Unless it's a building, all work titles should be italicized. Always. I'm also going into a bit of Bernini's life here, talking about when he worked, where he was from, and why he made this piece. This piece was commissioned by the Cardinal Borghese of the Vatican during the Barque period. Think this is strange for a catholic cardinal to have a Greek myth in his home? The reasoning behind it can be found with this quote: “Those who love to pursue feeting forms of pleasure, in the end fnd only leaves and bitter berries in their hands.” The sculpture depicts the Greek myth of Apollo, the god of light, and Daphne, a wood nymph. Apollo fell in love with Daphne due to Cupid's a.
