Respond to ALL of the questions thoroughly, using specific examples of works we have seen in class. Please answer all of the questions, not just individual questions or parts of each question. This is not a research paper! You should be referring to class lectures to respond to the questions. There is no need to cite the lectures. a. In what ways does the Baroque period in the Netherlands differ from the Baroque in all of the other countries we discussed? Examine the period both artistically and religiously. b.How was the Baroque period impacted by the Counter-Reformation? c. Discuss how the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation led to different religious practices and inspired different styles of art. Select at least one artist from each country we have studied, and analyze how each made use of varying Baroque characteristics in his/her art. Extra Credit: How were the Baroque and Rococo styles similar and different? Where did each style begin, to whom did they most appeal, and why?

write a 3-4 page paper in which you reflect on how museums structure our aesthetic experiences.
Overall descriiption of the museum/gallery environment (how are artworks displayed; what kind of atmosphere is created by lighting, space, informational plaques?). Thoughtful and detailed discussion of Firelei Báez art – “Given the ground ( the fact that it amazes me does not mean I relinquish it)” identify title and artist; give descriiption of piece; use the museum label to gain information about the artwork, and use your own observations and critical commentary; reflection on how the artwork interacts with its display environment. Be sure to incorporate some aspect from the articles attached in your reflection.

M y degree focus is Graphic Design. My paper is about the movie poster for the new movie Civil War by Alex Garland. I attached a photo. We need to credible citations we can’t use Wikipedia. Here are the instructions from my teacher.
Write a review of a current exhibit or release of art and design. Follow the guidelines listed here. Actively engage in the work being reviewed: go to a gallery show, attend a newly released film, walk around one of the many new buildings populating a cityscape (in your town or a nearby city), go to a dealership and look at the newest models, analyze current advertising for a known product.
Use your imagination and treat this project as an opportunity to engage in something current to your interests and major. Write down your observations. Gather as much outside information as possible to help you interpret and evaluate the work. Such information might include biographical information on the artist or designer, an artist’s statement or a company mission, and reviews of previous works by the same artist or designer.
Your art review should include the following:
an introduction with summary/descriiption of the artwork and its venue a thesis statement that includes the artwork’s purpose or intention, and an evaluation of the success of the work in fulfilling its purpose or intention background information relevant to your interpretation and cited in MLA style descriiption, analysis, and interpretation of at least three components or elements of the artwork that develop or support the thesis idea incorporation of at least two relevant and reputable research sources cited in MLA style with in-text citations and a Works Cited list body paragraphs structured in TEA style a conclusion that resolves the thesis idea
Your essay should be 750–1250 words. Your instructor may give you a more specific length requirement.
Be sure to include at least two secondary sources, cited in the text as parenthetical in-text citations and on a Works Cited list at the end.

Completed Artwork documented in a Research File alongside a body of images/other media of your developing practice, with relevant annotations. You should summarise the notes you make about your ideas and the development of your artwork. You may be making notes on the subject, process, content, materials or concepts – to let us know how you conduct your research. In total, written reflection should add up to 500-600 words(notes not included) The Research File should feature in detail the profiles of at least eight relevant artists. We would expect to see images and notes (annotation that is not included in the 500 words) on their relevance to you and/or your practice. N.B. The notes on your eight artists are not included in the 500-600 words. uploaded image is the final art workmade by student that is under the influnce of the 8 revalant artist

Given the treatment of the body in the two works above, do you think that the two cultures which produced them share the same attitude towards nudity or nakedness? Explain.
These works both feature a man and a woman. How do the bodies of man and woman compare to one another within each work? What kind of relationship between the sexes does each work posit? What role does the body play in expressing this?

Student’s will compare and contrast formal elements of design between two Crucifixion scenes: one from the Renaissance and one from the Modern era.
What is a formal analysis?
“The goal of a formal analysis is to explain how the formal elements of a work of art affect the representation of the subject matter and expressive content. The emphasis should be on analyzing the formal elements — not interpreting the artwork. That said, an understanding of the meaning of
the work is the final goal of any formal analysis.” (Pokinski, Deborah. “Writing a Formal Analysis in Art History.” Hamilton.edu, www.hamilton.edu/documents/formal%20analysis%20Art%20History.pdf.)
Here are a few helpful links to further explain this concept:
https://www.hamilton.edu/documents/formal%20analysis%20Art%20History.pdf
http://www.getty.edu/education/teachers/building_lessons/formal_analysis.html
Instructions:
This assignment should have NO OUTSIDE RESEARCH. Your 3 page formal analysis should rely on observable truths and demonstrate your understanding of formal elements of design. Any formal elements used in the paper should be bolded for emphasis. Students should compare and contrast the following formal elements and concepts in each painting:
Quality of line
Color
Light and Shadow
Space and form
Naturalism vs. Abstraction
While a formal analysis looks primarily at the form and not the content – here, be sure to discuss HOW the differences in these formal elements effects the emotional response the viewer has to each painting. Example: how is Nolde’s image of Christ more emotionally charged than Montegna’s?
Be sure your paper has a strong introduction and conclusion.
A few reminders when writing about art:
This is a formal academic paper – therefore – first person narrative voice should not be used. (No “I,” “me,” “my.”)
Titles of artwork should always be in italics.
Artists should never be referred to be only their first name: Nolde, or Emil Nolde, but never just Emil.
Try to avoid words like “great,” or “things” or “gets” as descriiptors or adjectives – be more specific. Instead of saying “the artist is great at rendering naturalistic space…” consider “the artist’s representation of three dimensional space if effective because…”
Do your best not to leave room for your reader to ask “how,” or why?”

The chosen art form is the song: “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi
Answer the following questions:
1. Describe how the piece represents a pop culture element – choose one of the the following areas for your descriiption: past/present, or regionally/nationally/globally.
2. What current cultural issues are being voiced in the piece
3. Point to how this genre has influenced and created different hybrids in other cultures.
4. Give your opinion of how the digital age is promoting certain art genres/forms while diminishing other art genres/forms.
5. Describe the difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation and give an example of cultural appropriation or cultural appreciation.
Most importantly, your narrative must be in paragraph compositional form.
