experience a work directly and analytically over a period of time. Order Description HAD215-03/10 | Fall 2014 Assignment Overview You are to analyze one work of art from the selected list of objects and monuments from the Brooklyn Museum of Art. After close inspection of the works, in person, develop a response paper that uses formal analysis as a process to arrive at a fuller understanding of historical context and cultural meaning. After viewing all works from the object list below, choose one work of art that you most enjoy, formally or historically. Once you?ve chosen the work, go back and take detailed notes on its subject matter, artistic form, historical context, and your own viewing experience. You are not to rely on illustrations or reproductions ? either printed in books or found online ? as the goal of this assignment is to experience a work directly and analytically over a period of time. Basic requirements The paper should not exceed five pages in length (however, please do not go below four pages). Please use typical format: Times New Roman, 12pt font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, pagination, etc. A separate title sheet is not needed, but please be sure to include the following: name, paper title, the work chosen, course information, and numbered pages. It is a good idea to have your name on each page in case of accidental separation. You are responsible for proof reading your paper to have it free of basic errors in spelling, grammar and syntax. The paper is due by Wednesday, November 26 th (i.e., before Thanksgiving Break). If you would like to turn your paper in before this, you able free to do so. Assignment Guidelines Generally, the paper has two concerns, each being about equal in length and consideration. However, the best papers will combine the two into one process. The first concern is a formal analysis; the second concern is placing the work and its formal qualities into relation to the culture as you have come to know it through your textbook and class lectures. This is not a research paper, but rather an assignment to make you think and use the basic materials of the course in an integrated fashion. We do not discourage further research - in fact it is fun - but it is not necessary and by no means will a pure research paper earn a good grade for this assignment. You are free to use whatever information the museum provides on their labels or informational signs in the area, but you MUST either quote the material with the source given in Brooklyn Museum Paper | Assignment Guidelines & Object List HAD215 - 03/ 10 | Fall 2014 Assignment Overview You are to analyze one work of art from the selected list of objects and monuments from the Brooklyn Museum of Ar t.

You are free to use whatever information the museum provides on their labels or informational signs in the area, but you MUST either quote the material with the source given in parentheses (e.g., museum label), or better, paraphrase their material but also give the museum label credit, in parentheses. However, this assignment is directed to you and your own observations rather than to the use of external sources. Formal Analysis At the beginning of your paper please very briefly describe the condition of the work – i.e., good, or damaged (unfinished, chipped, surface cracks, discolored, etc.) – and whether the condition plays a role in your reaction to t he work. If the work is missing an arm or has a serious crack in it and you do not say so, then you have not adequately described the work. If the condition seems good and does not obviously interfere with your appreciation then simply state it as such. In either case, you must make reference to the physical condition and the general physical presence of the work. The process is to ask a number of questions of the work through your reaction to it. If the work appeals to you, try to locate the physical reaso ns for your emotions. That does not mean your paper is to use value judgments, i.e., avoid such comments as "great,” "poor,” etc., except where you fully explain an issue. It is not sufficient to simply call the use of modeling or color "good" but rather y ou must explain what is there and how it is used. Eventually you will arrive at a series of comments that hopefully will explain to the reader and yourself why you like this work. But the criteria used to evaluate your paper will be the coherency of your analysis. Have you explained the essential physical features that command your attention: composition, color, gesture, space, etc.? Is there anything you have overlooked? Remember, looking is an active, energetic and informative engagement. Finally, take g ood notes since you must now rely on them when you go home to write the paper and relate the physical characteristics to the historical and cultural frameworks. Informal pictures (i.e., cameras, cell phones, etc.) are generally allowed, though you may be a sked to turn off flash. Historical Context Consider the ways in which the physical properties and the emotional impact of the work can be related to the culture and time that produced the work. Concentrate on developing the characteristics of the culture that seem to be present both physically and emotionally in the work. How do you know? The information presented in your textbook (and lectures) is generally sufficient for this, but it is useful to go beyond them if you wish. Further considerations: Are there emotional qualities that seem relevant to such considerations? What values in the society do you feel are communicated through the work? Do you feel differently than you think the members of that culture would feel in front of the work, or, do you fe el about what you would expect from that culture based on what you know of it?
