You will use the work of art that you submitted for approval to your professor which is drying nets 1872, Alfred Sisley, French from Kimbell Art Museum, Dallas, Texas. You must choose a work on display and the Dallas Museum of Art or the Kimbell
Museum of Art by looking at their collection online or in person. YOU MUST USE ALL THE
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES FOR THE WORK OF ART THAT YOU CHOOSE. Please
be certain to complete paragraphs 4 and 5 as directed. Make sure that you include your personal
evaluation as specified so that I have your opinion as part of the analysis. This essay should be
more than 800 words. You must include these :
The six elements
1. line
2. shape
3. color
4. value
5. space
6. texture
The six principles
1. scale
2. proportion
3. balance
4. unity
5. focal point
6. emphasis
PARAGRAPH #1: DESCRIPTIVE PHASE
Describe the artwork you have selected. Write your initial response (see Note 1 below) to the
work. What do you think the artwork is about (i.e., its story)? What message (i.e., idea,
meaning) are you receiving from the work? You may find both.
PARAGRAPH #2: ANALYTICAL PHASE A
Analyze the artist’s use of the Elements of Art in the artwork. Locate and write about specific
examples (see Note 2 below) found in the artwork. Think about how the artist’s use of the
Elements affects your response to the artwork for Paragraph #5.
PARAGRAPH #3: ANALYTICAL PHASE B
Analyze the artist’s use of the Principles of Art/Design in the artwork. Locate and write about
specific examples (see Note 2 below) found in the artwork. Think about how the artist’s use of
the Principles affects your response to the artwork for Paragraph #5.
PARAGRAPH #4: INTERPRETATIVE PHASE
Using the information provided by the book, event program, or museum label information as
research, write about how the artwork fits in with the body of work and the intent
(interpretation) of the artist. If there is no information, continue with interpreting what you
think the artist was trying to convey. DO NOT CONDUCT ANY ADDITIONAL RESEARCH
FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT; THIS IS NOT A RESEARCH PAPER.
PARAGRAPH #5: EVALUATIVE PHASE
A) In CONCLUSION, state whether your personal response was changed by your formal
analysis (the Elements and Principles) and the research from the text. Be sure to include more
than this simple statement. Qualify your response with reasons why (how), or why not, #2, #3,
and #4 affected your response.
B) Additionally, visiting a museum, you support the arts community. Even if you look at the
work virtually, you get a sense of why the museum is there. After your personal response to the
work of art or event you chose, think about the work and where you saw it. Write a few
concluding sentences that demonstrate your understanding of the value of the artwork and place,
and its impact on the community. DO NOT FORGET TO WRITE ABOUT THIS.
NOTE on this assignment and on writing in general:
1. First responses should be just that. Resist the urge to over-think this. React and respond and
describe that feeling or response in your writing. If the artwork tells you a story, then
communicate that story in your writing. If it makes you feel a specific emotion, then express that
in your writing, and explain why.
2. You WILL give specific examples of how and where the artist uses them in the artwork. Do
not simply list the Elements and Principles used in the artwork. Additionally, the examples you
provide must reflect the artist’s use and application of the Elements and Principles in the making
of the artwork, NOT ABOUT THE STORY, MEANING, OR RESPONSES.
A well constructed paragraph will be at least 5 sentences long. Also, all material related to the
topic of the paragraph remains in that paragraph. You may refer back to that information in
other places in your essay, but introduce the information in its appropriate place.
Essays and individual paragraphs have a beginning, middle, and end. In this essay, the
beginning is your initial response (PARAGRAPH 1), the middle represents your analysis and
research (PARAGRAPHS 2, 3, and 4), and the conclusion (PARAGRAPH 5) ties back to the
beginning of the essay.
NO CONTRACTIONS ARE APPROPRIATE IN FORMAL WRITING. For example, use will
not, do not use won’t. College-level grammar is expected.
Format the essay using MLA formatting guides. The work should be plagiarism free and no using AI.
