Look at each of these artist's artwork and select one artist's work. Record the artist name and the name of the artwork Then in both of your sketchbooks, complete the 4 steps below. You will present to the class your findings. Wassily Kandinsky Franz Marc Auguste Mackey Joan Miro Paul Klee Frank Stella Willem de Kooning Ellsworth Kelly Jean Dubuffet Step One: Description Make a list of all the things you see in the work without making any kind of judgment about the work. Make careful, non-judgmental observation. Include the size of the work and the medium used. Step Two: Analysis Pay close attention to which art elements (line, shape, color, form, texture, value, & space) the artist used. Have them look for ways those elements were used to organize the composition using rhythm, balance, movement, proportion, variety, emphasis, and unity. Step Three: Interpretation Explain or tell the meaning or mood of the work. Think creatively and imaginatively at this stage. Base this interpretation on what you've concluded in the first two steps. Step Four: Judgment Decide whether the work is successful or has merit. Using images from magazines find an example of each of the elements and principles of art and glues them into your sketchbook.
