At the museum/gallery Choose TWO ARTWORKS to write a compare and contrast paper: You might want to choose one work you like and one you are not sure about or choose two artworks with different styles or techniques
Analyze the works of art you have chosen: Once you have completed your visit, you will then COMPOSE A TWO-PAGE PAPER using the information you observed/recorded along with other interesting elements from your visit. This is a very standard compare and contrast paper and it should include correct grammar and spelling. The paper should be in a MS Word document format (.docx or .doc) or Portable Document Format (.pdf)
Submit your writing assignment here. Be sure that you have addressed the following in your paper.
- Analyze and discuss the different ways the artists have used the visual elements such as color, contrast, balance – etc.
- How do you think the cultural and historical background of the artists might have influenced the way their work looks?
- What conclusions can you reach about the artist’s time period and his or her views of their
world? Some things you might want to consider: spirituality, politics, economics, race or ethnicity, gender or gender identity, ecological issues, materials and process. - Do the two works share any similar ideas, approaches to subject or use of materials?
