Describe your chosen artist's major work in terms of its technique and content. 


Explore how the formal relationships (composition, contrast, balance, focus, etc) combine with the subject matter to create content or meaning. 
Discuss fully your thoughts regarding the overall content and how the work spoke to you in relation to your final project approach.

In your 15 mins presentation, you should cover:
  • A brief description of the artist's overall practice. 
  • 10 images: Name/title, medium/method/technique, date and display of the piece. 
  • Describe what you see, what special tools/ methods are used, and how they add form and feeling to the work.
  • Describe your interpretation of the work. What is the subject matter? Beyond the subject matter what does it mean?
  • How is the artist's work influence your final project idea? Content, technique, visual language?
