HUM 100 - Picture and describe a favorite work of visual art

1. DESCRIBE AND DISCUSS A FAVORITE WORK

Picture and describe a favorite work of visual art. Your selection may come from the entire range of visual arts, anything from a famous painting in a museum to an iconic architectural masterpiece to a handmade basket or an especially well-designed object. The only restriction is that you need to see the actual work of art, rather than a photo or online image.

Picture and describe it in words. Describe the medium it represents within the scope of visual arts. Tell us about its maker or designer. What year is it from? Where is it located? What was its intended function? What is its significance to you?

Finally, argue its value in relation to ideas from at least two of the assigned learning resources for this week.
