THIS IS THE ARTWORK!!!
A student will write an analysis on one of the assigned artworks online, which are part of the permanent collection of
the University Art Museum. A list of the artworks will be announced in myCourses at least 3 weeks before the due of
the paper.An analysis should discuss on formal elements, which include the visual composition, colors, contrast, shapes and
lines, textures, size, a possible process, and materials used on the artwork, along with techniques. Do not focus on the
subject matter.There is no particular writing style I would request you to follow, but please keep it formal, not casual. The paper
should focus on your analysis on a chosen artwork – do not write why you have chosen this artwork over others, and do
not write an intro or conclusion, as I am not asking you to generalize or summarize the main concept of the artwork.
Finally, do not include any quotations and do not do any research on the artist or artwork – we want to hear only your
own interpretations and analysis of the artwork. However, you can do research on techniques/methods if you are not
familiar with (e.g., collage, lithography, monotype, photography, etc.). The paper should be between 500 & 750 words
The paper should include the name of an artist and a title of the artwork as a title of the analysis paper
The paper should include a student’s name and the course number & name of this course (CINE 122/ARTS
180B: Innovation and Expression in Film and Video) at the top of the paper
The paper should not have any sort of introduction
The paper should not have a conclusion
The paper should not include any quotations RUBRIC :

A number of formal
elements discussed
(3% points)
The paper analyzes at least
10 formal elements.
Example of formal elements
are: lines (thickness, length,
straight/curve, dashed line,
etc.), shapes, colors/shades,
contrast, texture, overall
visual composition
(symmetricity/asymmetricity,
cluster, use of empty space,
repetition, variation, etc.),
movements/speed, space,
medium/materials (paint,
use of canvas, papercut for
collage, etc.), space,
techniques/a process of
making the artwork
(layering paints, print-
making, photography, etc.),
etc.
= 3% points
The paper analyzes
at least 7 but less
than 10 formal
elements.
= 2% points

at least 5 but less
than 7 formal
elements.

Objectiveness (non-
subjectiveness) of
the analysis
(6% points)
The analysis is free from any
direct subjective influences,
such as a wild guess and
interpretation based on
one’s own experience or
bias.
Example of non-subjective
analysis is: “The shape at
the center of the frame
displays a sense of
symmetricity, which echoes
to the overall visual
composition, including how
the colors in the
background change, as well
as the shape of the frame
itself.”
Example of subjective
analysis is: “The shape at
the center of the frame
looks like a heart. I believe
the artist was in love with
someone and maybe this
artwork was made as a
Valentine’s Day gift for the
person.”
The analysis is
mostly free from
any direct
subjective
influences.
The analysis is
somewhat free from
any direct
subjective
influences.
The analysis is not
free from any direct
subjective
influences.

the analysis
(6% points)

Example of persuasive
analysis is: “The use of blue
is effective to connect
different parts on the
canvas, producing a sense
of connectivity in the overall
visual composition.”
Example of not persuasive
analysis is: “The artist
decided to paint many parts
in blue because he had so
much blue paint at home.”
