ASSIGNMENT: A visual analysis, sometimes referred to as a formal analysis, is a detailed consideration of the elements and principles of design employed in an artwork. How do the choices the artist made regarding visual elements such as line, color, depth, texture, etc. serve to express and enhance the content of the object?
Your task is to determine the mood or feeling evoked by an art object; to analyze how visual elements contribute to creating that expressive content; and to describe those visual elements in rich, evocative prose. A formal analysis does not rely extensively on written, documented sources as evidence; instead, you will need to utilize on your own detailed, visual observations to support your analysis.
