The paper should have a thesis that summarizes your main findings. The thesis for this paper should state where the focal point is in this painting and why. Things to consider: What is the subject of the artwork? Is there a focal point? If so, explain where it is and what formal elements led you to this conclusion. Composition: How are the parts of the work arranged? Is the work symmetrical? Balanced? Line: What kinds of lines are used (verticals, horizontals, diagonals)? Point out some important implied lines and explain what they point to. Space: What type of space is created in the work? Is the space deep or shallow (can you see far in the distance or not)? How is depth portrayed? Is perspective used? If yes, where is the vanishing point? Light and Shadow: Are shadows visible? Where? Where might the main light source be? Color: What type of colors are used in the work? Bright? Dull? Complementary? Does the artist use colors to draw your attention to specific areas of the work? How? How does color guide your gaze across the painting? Conclusion: summarize your main points. First take notes on answering these questions. Then organize your answers into an argument. All your writing should work to support your thesis. The argument should explain what the focal point is and how the artist organized the composition to make viewers look at a certain main point in the work, and then look around it. The paper should be in MLA format. You will be graded based on the quality of your writing, and the understanding of the main issues addressed in the readings. Papers with weak argumentation, poor structure, sloppy editing, imprecise or incorrect word choice, spelling errors, or grammatical mistakes will be downgraded.
