GSU Goddess of Laussel Anon Limestone Art Illustration Analysis Essay

I’m working on a art writing question and need a sample draft to help me study.

Please put your paper in the following order:

1. Cover page–Include your name, topic and course information.

2. Art Illustration page–Include a photo, preferably in color, artwork you are discussing.

3. Bibliography page–MLA style bibliography of the sources used in the assignment.

4. Introduction section–(About 500 words) Type “Introduction” on top of the page. In this section you should include some brief background information about the artwork. This may include such information as the year it was completed, the style of art/culture that it represents, the artist (if known) and their intention with the artwork, the context of the piece, the media used, etc. Do not waste time and space with a biography of the artist (if known) unless some of that information in pertinent to the specific piece that you are discussing. You will probably only need to cite information in this section of the paper.

5. Elements section–(About 500 words) Type “Elements” on top of the page. In this section, you must pick three art elements (find them in your textbook and in the course’s first lecture) and discuss how the artist uses them in the piece. Be specific and use the terms correctly. Pick any three elements, but make sure that they are important to the composition of the piece you are discussing.

6. Reaction section–(About 500 words) Type “Reaction” on top of this page. In this section you will discuss how you feel about the work. I don’t want to see “I love it” or “I hate it” on your paper. Art is a very subjective thing. Regardless of what the artist is trying to accomplish with a piece, the viewer’s individual experiences will shape and mold their reactions to the things they see. So I want you to dig deep and write about how and why the piece affected you. (If it didn’t, why did you pick the piece in the first place?!) Any reaction is valid as long as you have a valid reason for it and you explain it. (In other words, I will not deduct points if you don’t like a piece, but I will if you write something like “my little brother could paint this” and leave it at that.)
