Write an essay about Money Tree, 1st-2nd century bronze and green glazed . China, Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 CE). Be very details by your feeling of your eyes. As you look, think, look, reflect, scrutinize, change positions, look again, observe patterns, make connections, let the artwork happen to you. Focus on a small corner; step back and catch it all at one glance. Associate: allow yourself to be reminded of other objects and visual experiences. Look: look slowly, thoughtfully, carefully, look at everything. Your focus should be on looking and sketching more than writing notes; one-half page of jotted notes is fine. Your sketch should be an attempt to view and process your experience with images, not words. It does not need to be beautiful. It does not need to be perfect. It can be many different sketches, taken from different angles, focusing on details, and then zooming out to take in the whole. 3. Develop an argument or interpretation through description. Develop a visual analysis of the object using concrete terms to describe it (ie. Do not simply say that Buddha’s expression is “peaceful.” A more successful description would say how the Buddha’s expression communicates peace—downcast eyes, mask-like expression, relaxed muscles, subtle smile at the corners of the mouth, etc.) Having now spent quite a lot of time with the object, what do you think is interesting or confusing about it? Do you find anything particularly beautiful, disturbing, familiar, puzzling, etc. about it? What is it like to experience the work of art? Is it bigger than you, or smaller? Does it call out to be touched? How does it change when you get close or further away, or to the side, or the back of it? How does the work of art address you? One way you might think about organizing your description is to look and look and look until something seems weird to you. What stands out? What doesn’t make sense? Write an essay that describes the whole object analytically, but that is structured around an answer to whatever it is that stands out to you. The paper is meant to be an exercise in visual analysis and you are expected to primarily rely on your reading of the work to make your argument. This means, of course, that the description may not take in to account the political, economic, or material conditions of the work’s production. The description may be account for how the formal elements move the eye through the work, or how the formal features make a particular reading of the work more plausible than another.
The paper should be about 700 words; that is, no less that 600 and no more than 800. The essay should be written in formal academic style, should contain no grammatical or spelling mistakes, and must include a ‘Works Cited’ section with citations in Chicago style or MLA style.
