·
Identification: Select a work of art. You may select a piece that you like or dislike. Get all the information provided: artist, title, medium, year, etc. Write down your initial responses. How do you respond to the work? Does it invoke an emotional response? What do you think the artist was trying to communicate? It is helpful to bring a notebook to record your responses.

·
Describe the piece and review it carefully. What do you see? Note all the details about the work. How would you describe it to someone you were talking to on the phone who can’t see it?

·
Analyze the visual elements and design principles, thinking about the relationship between form, content, and subject matter. This will be helpful in your ‘interpretation’ of the work. Consider context: does it fit into a movement or time period? Consider its place in the artist’s overall output.

·
Interpretation Follow your analysis with a subjective interpretation of the meaning of the work. How does the work make you feel? What do you think the content is? Go beyond “I like it” or “I don’t like it.”

·
Research the artist. Historical and biographical information on the artist often provides clues into a work’s intended meaning. Carefully consider the purpose and context of the piece. Did the piece you selected have any particular political or cultural message? Was the artist making a statement?

·
Evaluate What do you think the artist’s intentions were? Was this communicated? Does it have value? Can you recognize the aesthetic quality in the work?

The paper must be 1500 words, double-spaced, 10- or 12-point type, with 1” margins.

Background info

Bob Thompson

‘s 
Tree is based on the fantastical, morally charged work of 

Francisco de Goya

, the Spanish master known for his scathing commentary on the Spanish royalty and religious persecution in the late 18th century. Thompson’s painting combines two consecutive plates from Goya’s 1799 collection of etchings 
Los caprichos: Volaverunt (They Have Flown) on the left and 
Quien lo creyera! (Who Would Have Thought It!) on the right. Instead of merely re-creating Goya’s etchings, however, Thompson produced a different narrative by modifying the characters and adding new elements. Goya’s adulteress becomes a redheaded, winged angel holding an uprooted tree. Her human form watches over several bestial figures, suggesting that human reason presides over primal instincts. To unify Goya’s two images, Thompson incorporated the color red throughout the work and positioned the tree on a diagonal.
Thompson attended the University of Louisville in Kentucky before moving to New York City in 1959. In New York he studied the old masters at the city’s museums and became friends with luminaries such as jazz musician Ornette Coleman and multimedia artist 

Red Grooms

. Thompson traveled to Europe on a fellowship, painting 
Tree in Paris. Like 
Tree, many of his paintings are renditions of old master compositions. Sadly, Thompson died in Rome of complications after gallbladder surgery at the age of 29, cutting short his promising career.
