1) Perform a detailed formal analysis of a single work of art
shown above.
2) Any discussion of the artist's biography, historical context,
or personal experience will not be counted towards the word
count.
3) The essay should be 1500-2000 words. Use APA
4) The essay should include a discussion of all the elements and
principles listed below, and Each element and principle should
be addressed in three sentences.
Line
― Do you see any outlines which define objects, shapes, or
forms? Are lines used to emphasize a direction (vertical,
horizontal, diagonal)? Describe the important lines: are they
straight or curved, short, or long, thick, or thin? How do you
think the artist utilized to emphasize certain objects, forms, or
people?
Light
― For a two-dimensional object, is a source of light depicted
or implied? Is it a natural light source or artificial? Are the
shadows created by the light true to life or does the artist distort
them? How does the artist depict shadows? Through line or
color? If a three-dimensional object, how does the object
interact with the light in its setting? How do gradations of
shadows and highlights create form or depth, emphasis, or order
in the composition?
Color
― Which colors are dominantly used in this depiction? If the
object is black and white, or shades of gray, did the artist
choose to do this because of the media he was working or did it
create a certain mood or effect? Color can describe by its hue
and value (shades to tints). Does the artist's choice of color
create a certain mood? Does the artist make use of
complementary colors (red/green, violet/yellow, blue/orange)?
Or analogous colors (those next to one another on the color
wheel)? Does the artist utilize colors that are warm or cool?
Where? Is atmospheric perspective utilized (in which blurred
and cool colors appear to recede and create an impression of
depth in the distance, while warm and clear colors fill the
foreground)?
Texture
― What is the actual texture on the surface of the object? Is it
rough or smooth? If a painting, is there impasto? What is the
implied texture? Are patterns created through the use of
texture?
Shape
― What shapes do you see? Are the objects in the work (for a
painting or drawing) or are the objects themselves (for a
sculpture or architectural work) flat or volumetric? Organic or
geometric? For representations of people, how does shape lend
character to a figure? Are these figures proud or timid, strong,
or weak, beautiful, or grotesque? What is the size of all the
forms and how do they relate proportionally to one another? Are
they located in the foreground, middle ground, or background?
Why do you think the artist placed them there?
Space
― How does the form created by shape and line fill the space
of the composition? Is there a negative, or empty, space without
objects? How does the artist create depth in the image (layering
of figures/objects, linear perspective, atmospheric perspective,
foreshortening of figures)? If the object is three-dimensional,
how does it fill our space? Is it closed or open? If a two-
dimensional object, is the space flat, or does it visually project
into our space?
Scale and Proportion
– What is the size of the work itself? How does that size relate
to the size of the human interacting with the work? Within the
artwork, are all the objects and figures the same size? If not,
why? Is the scale of any aspect of the work distorted? Are the
proportions of the figures accurate? Is a hierarchical scale used?
How is the composition proportioned?
Balance
― Balance is produced by the visual weight of shapes and
forms within a composition. Balance can be symmetrical, in
which each side of central line is the same, asymmetrical, or
radial. When describing balance, discuss how opposites are
utilized or related (light/shadow, straight/curved lines,
complementary colors)?
Rhythm
― Rhythm is created by repetition. What repeated elements do
you see? Does the repetition create a subtle pattern, a decorative
ornamentation? Or does it create an intensity, a tension? Does
the rhythm unify the work, or does it seem like a group of
disparate parts?
Emphasis
― The emphasis of work refers to a focal point in the image or
object. What is your eye drawn to? Does the artist create
tension or interest by creating more than one area or interest?
Or is the work of art afocal ― that is, the viewer cannot find a
particular place to rest the eye. Is there even a psychological
focus created through the elements of art?
4 To organize the essay, your overall argument and conclusion
should address how the artists used the principle of emphasis.

1) Perform a detailed formal analysis of a single work of art .docx

  • 1. 1) Perform a detailed formal analysis of a single work of art shown above. 2) Any discussion of the artist's biography, historical context, or personal experience will not be counted towards the word count. 3) The essay should be 1500-2000 words. Use APA 4) The essay should include a discussion of all the elements and principles listed below, and Each element and principle should be addressed in three sentences. Line ― Do you see any outlines which define objects, shapes, or forms? Are lines used to emphasize a direction (vertical, horizontal, diagonal)? Describe the important lines: are they straight or curved, short, or long, thick, or thin? How do you think the artist utilized to emphasize certain objects, forms, or people? Light ― For a two-dimensional object, is a source of light depicted or implied? Is it a natural light source or artificial? Are the shadows created by the light true to life or does the artist distort them? How does the artist depict shadows? Through line or color? If a three-dimensional object, how does the object interact with the light in its setting? How do gradations of shadows and highlights create form or depth, emphasis, or order in the composition? Color
  • 2. ― Which colors are dominantly used in this depiction? If the object is black and white, or shades of gray, did the artist choose to do this because of the media he was working or did it create a certain mood or effect? Color can describe by its hue and value (shades to tints). Does the artist's choice of color create a certain mood? Does the artist make use of complementary colors (red/green, violet/yellow, blue/orange)? Or analogous colors (those next to one another on the color wheel)? Does the artist utilize colors that are warm or cool? Where? Is atmospheric perspective utilized (in which blurred and cool colors appear to recede and create an impression of depth in the distance, while warm and clear colors fill the foreground)? Texture ― What is the actual texture on the surface of the object? Is it rough or smooth? If a painting, is there impasto? What is the implied texture? Are patterns created through the use of texture? Shape ― What shapes do you see? Are the objects in the work (for a painting or drawing) or are the objects themselves (for a sculpture or architectural work) flat or volumetric? Organic or geometric? For representations of people, how does shape lend character to a figure? Are these figures proud or timid, strong, or weak, beautiful, or grotesque? What is the size of all the forms and how do they relate proportionally to one another? Are they located in the foreground, middle ground, or background? Why do you think the artist placed them there? Space ― How does the form created by shape and line fill the space of the composition? Is there a negative, or empty, space without objects? How does the artist create depth in the image (layering of figures/objects, linear perspective, atmospheric perspective,
  • 3. foreshortening of figures)? If the object is three-dimensional, how does it fill our space? Is it closed or open? If a two- dimensional object, is the space flat, or does it visually project into our space? Scale and Proportion – What is the size of the work itself? How does that size relate to the size of the human interacting with the work? Within the artwork, are all the objects and figures the same size? If not, why? Is the scale of any aspect of the work distorted? Are the proportions of the figures accurate? Is a hierarchical scale used? How is the composition proportioned? Balance ― Balance is produced by the visual weight of shapes and forms within a composition. Balance can be symmetrical, in which each side of central line is the same, asymmetrical, or radial. When describing balance, discuss how opposites are utilized or related (light/shadow, straight/curved lines, complementary colors)? Rhythm ― Rhythm is created by repetition. What repeated elements do you see? Does the repetition create a subtle pattern, a decorative ornamentation? Or does it create an intensity, a tension? Does the rhythm unify the work, or does it seem like a group of disparate parts? Emphasis ― The emphasis of work refers to a focal point in the image or object. What is your eye drawn to? Does the artist create tension or interest by creating more than one area or interest? Or is the work of art afocal ― that is, the viewer cannot find a particular place to rest the eye. Is there even a psychological focus created through the elements of art?
  • 4. 4 To organize the essay, your overall argument and conclusion should address how the artists used the principle of emphasis.
