I want you to create your own versions! You can use Microsoft Word to do this assignment, which is probably the easiest for most (you should all have it in your Microsoft 365).

Here are the steps to create your own artwork!

Open Word

Create a Blank Document

Go to the Insert tab above

Select Shapes

Select a box-like shape under the Rectangles category

Then under the Shape Format tab (it usually takes you to it automatically)

Choose Shape Fill and PLEASE use the More Fill Colors option

Keep on adding more shapes until you are satisfied

Save as a PDF (do not save it as an apple file-just a pdf please)

50 points

Now, after you have created your own Color Relative artwork(it is kind of like collecting paint swatches from Lowe's), go ahead and give it a title (don't just say untitled either).

10 points

You will then explain

why you chose your colors,

what do you personally associate with these colors,

what the overall mood is of your piece,

and how do the colors affect one another? Answer these questions in a minimum of 6 sentences.

Audio recording explaining this assignment is embedded below for those who would like to use it. (It is my first time using this....yay technology!)

(You must read our sections for this week before completing this assignment)

Looking at the section 1.10 in our textbook, I want you to choose only 1 artwork to practice forming an analysis.

Use one of the methods of analysis that this section discusses (formal, iconographic, contextual, biographical, feminist, or psychological) to formulate a concise analysis of just 1 artwork from this section that you choose.

Play media comment.

Present your analysis in a PowerPoint  (or another slide show program just not an apple file please) to make it nice and organized. I expect you to have the following:

Slide #1:Title Slide (Your  name and class name) & Page # of the artwork you chose

Slide #2: Artwork information (Title, year created, medium (oil paint, woodcut, etc.)) and Image

Slide #3: Clearly stating which method of analysis you are using

Slide #4: The meaning of the artwork with supporting evidence (4 sentences minimum)

Slide #4: Vocab you have learned is used (You can just list the vocab words you used)

Slide #5: Work cited page of any sources you used (not Wiki please)

For example, I may choose to analyze Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. After doing some preliminary research and looking at the time it was created, I know that this painting was created around WWII and that would have an impact on interpreting it. So, I would choose to use a contextual analysis to break down the meaning of this artwork.  Or maybe I want to do a psychological analysis on Edvard Munch's The Scream.

It is up to you! However, your analysis choice should make sense. I wouldn't use a formal analysis  to write about The Scream since the research shows that his psych heavily motivated him to create. Later on, you will learn to use most of these different methods together to form one awesomely powerful analysis. But for now, we are practicing just 1 method.

Read the following excerpt and respond thoughtfully in a minimum of 6 sentences.

"Because drawing is often the first expression of an artist's ideas, does this mean that it is superior to other media? An initial sketch or a doodle on a napkin could hold more insight into the idea in its pure state than a carefully refined or labored artwork."

What is your opinion? Discuss using examples to illustrate your argument. (min. 6 sentences)

LINK to audio explanation from yours truly.
