Examine and react to pieces of art. A formal art analysis offers a great start to examining a piece before moving into other factors such as social context and iconography, etc.

Welcome to Unit 4. Now that we have explored the meaning of art, art qualities and art materials, we are going to pull it all together to discuss art analysis. Art is meant to be engaged with, we as humans are meant to examine and react to pieces of art. A formal art analysis offers a great start to examining a piece before moving into other factors such as social context and iconography, etc. This unit focuses only on the visual analysis, but in future units we will discus meaning, iconography, social context, etc.

Using the Met Timeline of Art, find an art piece that you will give a visual analysis of. You will then create a screen recording, making a 2-4 minute video of the qualities within the piece. Try to describe the visual qualities thoroughly within the analysis. You must submit the technical information of your chosen art piece along with the link to your video.
If you are not sure how to create a screencapture video, you are able to use Screen-Cast-O-Matic to create a free screen capture video.
