Analyze a Painting (200-250 words)

I don’t understand this Art & Design question and need help to study.

For Question 1:

Go to the website for the Art Institute of Chicago: http://www.artic.edu/aic/. Navigate your way through their site to the following paintings: Bartolemmeo di Giovanni, Scenes from the Life of Saint John the Baptist (1490/95) AND Léger, Reclining Woman (1922).

[Hint: Go to The Collection; Then type in the artist, title and date into the Quick Search Box]

Pick one of these paintings to analyze and use another painting to give 1-2 comparsions. Then complete the essay assignment. (20 points for the essay; 5 points for response) *NOTE* Neither of these paintings is considered a genre painting.

There are 2 parts to this essay assignment:

1) Describe this painting by using at least 5 of the terms from the Lectures for Module 1 (see beginning of Module 1 Lecture – Part 2). Don’t just list the terms. Define them and use them to describe the painting.

Discussion Essays: 20 points each plus 5 points for Response

• 5 points for including 2 or more artworks as supporting details
• 5 points for correct essay structure (main argument followed by supporting evidence)
• 5 points for correct grammar, spelling, punctuation
