ASSIGNMENT

pply the Seven Visual Elements to Art: How Do You Organize and Harmonize Your Art?

We use art in all kinds of ways in our
everyday lives, often without recognizing the thought process involved.
For example, when we select paintings, sculpture, art artifacts, etc. to
decorate our homes and office spaces, we are actually critiquing art.
Often we go far beyond superficial questions, such as does the color of
the artwork match the furniture in the room and the paint on the
walls? Most often in our selections, we are addressing critical aspects
of art, such as what does this piece of art mean to me and why?

In this final course assignment, you
will select a piece of modern art from your textbook that you would like
to hang on your wall at home or in your office, and then analyze your
selection based on two of the seven visual elements.

Using the Apply the Seven Visual Elements to Art Template [DOCX], write a 3–4-page paper in which you:

1. Select one piece of modern art from your text that you can imagine
   hanging on your wall at home or at work and include the rationale

  in your paper. The image is not included in the required page count.

1. Provide a background, or context, on the artist, the time period,

2. Describe the seven visual elements used to analyze art. These

   1/2 pages).

• Refer to the article, “How the Elements of Art Shape Creativity,” The Seven Visual Elements of Art Handout [DOCX], and your Week 9 discussion post when writing this section of your paper.

Your Favorite Modern Artwork Created by a Woman and/or Minority

art since people began painting art on the walls of their caves. Women

identifying modern artwork created by a woman and/or minority, and
explore what you think and feel about this artwork.
