Select one piece of art from the assigned Gateway into the Visual Arts Resource or the online museums listed in that resource you would like to interpret. Include an image of the piece of art at the top of your discussion post. Also be sure to include the name of the artist and the name of the piece. Based on your reading of the Required Resource, Principles of Composition, please do the following. 1. Choose two principles of composition you think you can use to interpret the piece of art you chose. 2. Briefly define each principle using your own words. Please paraphrase and do not just copy the definitions from the readings and videos. 3. Apply each principle to the piece of art by explaining what you see in this piece of art that demonstrates that principle. Be sure to show how something in this piece of art is an example of the principles of composition you chose by specifically describing aspects of the art. For example, if you chose the principle of repetition, describe exactly what in a painting is repeated. It is not enough to just say there are elements repeated in the painting. You should show where they are with a detailed description or with an edited version of the painting with arrows where the repeated elements are. 4. Discuss in general what kinds of messages you think the artist could be trying to convey by making these choices of composition. For instance, if an artist put a mother and child in the background of a painting, and a father in the foreground for emphasis, what might this use of emphasis say about the status of the people in the painting? 5. Make sure to cite any quotes or paraphrases in MLA style. Be sure that you are doing your own interpretation and not repeating something already covered in the resource about that piece of art.
