AR115 Park University Painting Analysis of Visual Elements Discussion Paper Please report on one painting made before 1000 CE. The work can, for instance, be a prehistoric cave painting, a Minoan fresco or a medieval icon. Your report should be at least 250 words, and should include these numbered sections:

1. Image: Post an image or link to your chosen work, with the URL to the source.

2. Material Data: Name the artist/designer (if known), date(s), current location or museum, materials used and size. Note its use(s) and any special production techniques utilized, as you did in Week 1.

3. Formal Analysis (Visual Elements): Describe the “observable properties of matter”, according to: Line, Shape and Form, Space, Implied Texture, Value, Implied Light, Colors, and Implied Movement (Time). This type of analysis should not refer to any scholarly research. Instead, trust your eyes to see deeply and to describe carefully what you are seeing, using your new art analysis terms from your readings. You are encouraged to look at several images of the same work in order to look at the details closely.

Please see my video on how to do a formal analysis of art here:
