Describe how the artist uses the Principals of Design to give the viewer a certain feeling, emotion or meaning to the work.

Step 1:
Choose ONE work from the LISTEN to the Experts ART Table #2 (PRINCIPLES) on the next page. and save the image to your desktop so that you can make it larger to view. You must select art from this table.
Compose your writing on a separate MSword document so that you can spell check and correct mistakes.
General length/format requirements: double or 1.5 spacing, 11 or 12 pt font, 1 inch margins, 350-450 words, approximately 1 page.
Please use the space you need to give me full, thoughtful answers to the questions. If you are answering everything in 3 sentences, that is way too brief. Allow yourself 3-5 sentences to explain what you are seeing and what the meaning is (questions #2 & #4).
Step 2:
Analyze the piece using the PRINCIPALS OF DESIGN. Include the following:
The title of the work and the artist. (Titles of artworks are capitalized and always italicized or in quotation marks.)
Describe what you see in the art piece. Use the principals of design to describe what you see:
How is it BALANCED? Where do you see the artist using SCALE or PROPORTION? Where is the EMPHASIS/FOCAL POINT? What combination of UNITY or VARIETY or RHYTHM or REPETITION or MOVEMENT is the artist using?
3. Which Principle of Design is most obvious to you in the work?
4. Describe how the artist uses the Principals of Design to give the viewer a certain feeling, emotion or meaning to the work.
