Now that we covered all the elements and principles of design put your expertise to use!
This lesson will help you analyze and explain the visual elements and principles in a work of art. You are essentially dissecting the art. Figuring out how the artist put the work together, will bring you further understanding of the work, the reasons behind the choices the artist made, how the elements and principles work together in that particular work, and insight into the concept of the piece. Discuss your analysis to broaden your understanding of the work.
Identify, show and discuss the main design elements and principles of composition- How they contribute to the composition, how it works to enhance the meaning of the piece and how does it move the viewer around the piece in an orchestrated way.
**Remember art can range from aesthetically pleasing to commentary whether political, social, ecological, etc. Also we all take our own experiences and cultures with us when viewing artwork. This lends itself to some variation in interpretations. Try to be as objective as possible.
Here’s how to complete the assignment: Look up the image, The Ballad of the Jealous Lover of Lone Green Valley by Thomas Hart Benton.
Analyze the work, finding the elements of art and principles of design and functions of art that are used in the work.
You will make a slide presentation. Decide what elements and principles to emphasize in slides by marking up the image (see example video on Birth of Venus) and what text to include to complete the presentation in google slides or powerpoint or any slide program.
Make one slide just for the main shape analysis, as in video and Guernicaexample.png.pdfActions
