Identify the work fully (artist name if known, title if available, time period or date, medium, dimensions or approximate dimensions).
Provide a brief description of the subject matter of the work.
Engage in a formal analysis of the work: (NOTE: It is expected that the analysis of the work’s formal elements and principles of design be the most in-depth and therefore most time should be spent on this section.)

Analyze, describe, and discuss the works’ composition using three (3) principles of design. Please bold each of your chosen principles of design once within your essay.
You must demonstrate your understanding of the concepts learned in the course by utilizing appropriate course vocabulary within your analysis. Please use precise terminology associated with the elements and principles chosen. Failure to do so will result in a reduced grade. Consult the chapters and course material from Module 2.
Spend a good amount of time looking at the work and taking notes. It is helpful to provide the reader with an overall picture of the work you are describing. You may find it useful to pretend you are describing the work to someone who cannot see but must create an impression of the work based solely on your words. Clearly and articulately analyze and describe the formal elements and principles of design that you see in the work. There may be many but be selective and try to determine the most significant elements of composition. Remember to utilize key terms from the textbook associated with the specific elements/principles chosen.
