5) FORMAT: 1. Your Formal Analysis should be one to two paragraphs for each ″step″ listed on the attached pdf as well as your visit to the capitol as a whole, including architecture, materials, how artworks were lit, located, grouped, etc. – The first page should include student name, date, class. The last page should include image(s), works cited, etc., which will follow your paper. Paragraphs should be labeled and in 12pt font, and 1″ (inch) margins should be adhered to. 2. Your analysis must include images of the main work or works you have chosen to respond to with full image captions underneath them (artist, title, date, medium, etc.). Please include the images after the text portion of your analysis. You must also include a photo of yourself at the capitol for the tour (with the class or if you attend alone)— it can be a selfie. 3. Make sure you proofread your document and adhere to the information listed above, as well as correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other errors. Your grade will reflect your ability to follow these guidelines. A formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the work you have chosen. These forms give the work its expression, message, or meaning. A formal analysis assumes a work of art is (1) a constructed object, (2) that has been created with a stable meaning (even though it might not be apparent to the viewer), (3) that can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work. To aid in writing a formal analysis, think as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your analysis, they should have a complete mental picture of the work. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a work desсrіption. It should also include a clear statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The statement may generally answer a question like this: What does this work mean? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this work all about? Your main statement is an essential element. It sets the tone for the formal analysis and sets it apart from being a mere desсrіption. The rest of the formal analysis should include a desсrіption of the piece and details of the work that has led you to come to your statement on the artwork. Yet, your thoughts should not be a random flow of ideas about the work (i.e., stream-of-consciousness writing). Instead, your analysis should have a sense of order, moving purposefully through your desсrіption of specific elements (e.g., discuss composition, a desсrіption of the figures, another with the background, another about line, etc.). Relying on your ability to visually ′read′ a work of art and make interpretations about it based on your analysis of it. Remember that your analysis should not be just a mechanical, physical desсrіption. Please use desсrіptive language and adjectives to describe your work. Begin with a general desсrіption of the work, then move on to the more specific elements. In addition, please do not commit plagiarism –which will result in a failing grade. ________________________
