Overview
Directions
Select either an object in the Museum collection or one of the plaster casts in the halls and stairwells of the Art Building. Your choice can be from any era and in any medium, it just needs to catch your eye.
Spend at least 5 minutes looking at your chosen subject carefully. Like we've done in class, go beyond "what it shows" (though that is of course important) to think about matters such as the material, the technique, or how forms and figures have been executed. How do those things connect? Use the "Formal Analysis Toolbox" to help you.
Write a 2-3 page paper describing your chosen subject and interpreting what you see.
