Choose one (1) work of art from the 12th edition of Prebles’ Artforms to which you have a strong positive or negative reaction.
Provide an interpretation of the work and summarize why you particularly like or dislike that work of art. Explain whether that particular work of art embodies your feelings about art in general, be they positive or negative.
This assignment is meant to consist of your own interpretation and reaction. You are not to conduct any outside research. You may, however, mention information given in the textbook if it contributes to your opinion. Be sure to provide citations for your sources.
The purpose of this assignment is to promote thoughtful responses to art and exercise the ability to express your opinions clearly in writing. In essence, this assignment is a warm-up to the Visual Analysis Essay and an indicator to the professor of the class’ opinions about art and its ability to articulate them.
