Question 1
Use the image in the following and write a COMBINED ANALYSIS for that artwork. The analysis should be 500 words and should include at least 3 different Modes of Analyses, in addition to a brief formal analysis. Please make clear to your reader which modes you are employing. Each mode should offer a thorough analysis of the artwork. Here are the combined analysis options- Formal Analysis • Stylistic Analysis • Gender Analysis • Psychological Analysis •Feminist Analysis • Contextual Analysis • Biographical Analysis • Iconographic Analysis • Marxist Analysis (Pick any 4 types of them to analyze the artwork)
The essay should begin with a brief description of the image (use formal analysis). This description does not need to be very detailed, but should provide a solid base on which you can mount your combined analysis.
The grade will be based on the breadth, depth, and insight of your analysis. A good combined analysis will explore the discourse, or conversation, about an artwork. I am not expecting you to create original scholarship on these artworks, but to show a grasp of the basic art history surrounding them. You should make your best effort to write a cohesive and organized essay. Everything should be in your OWN WORDS, and if you use any references please cite them!!
