MOMA visit

1. Choose two paintings or sculptures that are from different eras in the 20th/21st century and represent different styles or movements in art. Only one may be from today’s guided tour, the other must be a work from the MOMA collection you view on your own. Attach a photo or a printed image of both works with your paper. They must be from the MOMA collection!!

2. Identify the paintings or sculptures by title, artist and year. Write a brief description of the work that includes mention of the medium, composition, color, light, style, texture, content and mood. Describe first what you see in the work then what you think about it. What do you see going on in the work? How is it representative of a style or an idea (relationship to technology, Freud, nature, etc.) we have covered in class? What specific qualities about the work make it “modern?” Analyze, form, composition, color, medium, etc. Is there some relationship to the world at large or some event in the world evident in the work? Respond to the work in terms of what you think, what you feel and what you know. Find at least one critical analysis of the work and take an idea from that to agree with or dispute. BE SURE use a verifiable source and document it using MLA style citation and a properly formatted works cited page with the full citation.
