Anxiety Painting by Edvard Munch Assignment | Online Assignment

Please view the attached writing rubric. I would like the topic to be written about this painting “Anxiety” by Edvard Munch. The requirement is a minimum of 2 pages

IMAGE INTERPRETATION and PRESENTATION (15% of final grade).

 

1)

During your visit to an artistic space (Museum, gallery, street art, etc.), Chose an image that you find particularly striking or interesting. The image may be any form of visual media (please discuss with me beforehand if you are concerned whether or not the image will be acceptable for assignment).

 

2)

Title the paper with artists name (if known), image name (if known), and date. Your paper should be between 2-3 pages.

For example, Thomas Chambers, New York Harbor with Castle Williams and Ships, 1838-1845). You may also add the material it is made of (e.g., oil on canvas).

 

3)

Submit image analysis as a word document (.doc or .docx ONLY)

 

4)

Attach a reasonably good quality image to your paper. Ideally, you will be able to take a photo of it and attach that.

 

5) You will present your analysis on the last day of class. Presentations should be between 4-6 minutes. Consider the presentation as an informal way of showing other students your work. Your presentation skills can improve your grade.

Instructions:

 

Image interpretation involves a presentation on an image, sculpture, building, or other object chosen by each student based on their trip to a museum, gallery, or other artistic space. These will be graded as √+ (excellent), √ (acceptable), or – (unacceptable). Students will need to send me a photo of the image with a 2 or 3 page description, analysis, and interpretation. Do not send less then 2 double-spaced pages, or more than 3, or your grade will suffer.

 

Your work should include the following elements:

DESCRIPTION, ANALYSIS, INTERPRETATION

 

– DESCRIPTION is simply the basic facts of an object or painting. What do you see in the image?

 

Sample description might begin: “This image/painting/sculpture is by _____, created in   _____, and represents…”

 

– ANALYSIS focuses on particular aesthetic or formal qualities of the work, color, line, chape. Feel free to reference the technical terms on either of the two exams if it helps.

 

Sample analysis might begin: “The work makes extensive use of chiaroscuro…”

 

– INTERPRETATION involves the meaning of the work. This is partly subjective, but not all interpretations are convincing! You must convince your reader that your interpretation works. A good interpretation means using your description and analysis

 

Sample interpretation might begin: “The use of Chiaroscuro not only focuses our attention on Christ, but it provides commentary on the darker aspects of the Spanish inquisition during the Baroque period….”

 

GRADE RUBRIC

A/B

Grades of +:

Are clearly written throughout, are proofread to eliminate spelling and grammar mistakes, are logically written, include all 3 elements (description, analysis, interpretation) and provide a compelling interpretation that helps the reader better understand the image or object.

 

C-/B-

Grades of √:

Are coherent and well-written overall. But grades of √ may contain several spelling and grammatical mistakes; they may lack one or more elements (description, analysis, interpretation), they may contain opinion without relying on the image or object; they are not logically and coherently written, and their interpretation does not help us understand the object or image.

 

D/F

Grades of –:

Are poorly written throughout; do not engage with the object or image at all; plagiarize (such as copying and pasting from the Internet); are missing two or more elements (description, analysis, interpretation) demonstrate a very poor familiarity to no familiarity with the object; and do not provide an interpretation.
