ARTS-1301.009 – Elements & Principles, Context and Subjective vs Objective

You only have to write about one.

1. Rue Transnonain, Honore Daumier, lithograph, 1834

• 2. Raft of the Medusa, Theodore Gericault, oil on canvas, 1818-19

3. Walking Man, William Kentridge, linocut, 2000

• The following must be addressed.

1. Elements & Principles (composition)- Identify the predominant elements and principles in the work. Explain how the artist implemented them to help convey the presentation, and emotional quality of the artwork. 

• 2. Context– Research the background of the artwork and provide information that informs regarding context/history.

3. Subjective vs Objective (viewpoints)- Humans are critical creatures. Whenever we first see an artwork, we immediately use our personal experiences and knowledge (subjective) to form opinions regarding beauty, worth, and meaning. It is human nature. However, the subjective viewpoint is often biased and limited, leading to uninformed critical judgments. To form insightful, well-rounded opinions, we must investigate what is before our eyes by researching the background of the artwork. This research (objective) is used to expand our knowledge, and help substantiate our personal opinions or correct them, so that we may deliver sound, critical analysis.

• Compare and contrast your subjective viewpoints and objective viewpoints. How does learning about the context of the piece change your initial thoughts about it?
