Overview
Choose three images and provide a formal analysis. Then list 3-5 historical facts about the image. Situate it in its historical context and tell me something we won't know just by looking at it.
Consider questions like who made it? Why was it made? What does it represent? What was its function? What's the connection between the artist and the object?
