Expressionism
Choose an artwork by one of today's artists and answer the following:
1) What elements in this work read as symbols for some larger idea? And what do you believe they symbolize?
2) What are the main ideas expressed in the piece? Does knowing about the artist’s intentions help in your analysis or do you prefer not to know what they intended to communicate?
3) How does the artist’s overall aesthetic approach affect the way you interpret the content of this piece? You can answer this question by asking, “What if this piece were made another way, in another medium? How would that change my interpretation of it?”
4) Using cognitive theory, what can you say you learned (if anything) from this art work?
