Assignment
Choose one artwork, or a pair of artworks that is/are currently on display at any Art Museum or serious art collection. Visit the museum and write a response paper centered on your museum experience and your chosen object(s).
Notes to consider:
1) Your paper will be a detailed analysis of one or two works on display at the museum, and your experience of the museum environment itself. The primary emphasis of the paper should be your own description and analysis, informed by what you have learned about style and historical contexts. This is NOT a research paper.
2) You are encouraged to include references to other works at the museum, or images we have studied in class in order to supplement your discussion, but the primary focus of your discussion should be the object(s) observed at the museum and an analysis of the museum space itself.
3) The work(s) you choose can be of any medium e.g. painting, sculpture, calligraphy etc. Don’t forget to mention what museum you went to.
5) FORMAT: your paper should be at least 600 words which is about 2 1/2 pages (EXCLUDING title page, image(s), bibliography), and should be double spaced, using 10-12 pt font and 1″ (inch) margins. Your paper should include images of the main work or works you have chosen to respond to with full image captions underneath them (artist, title, date, medium etc)
