The Museum Report is a process paper, to be completed in two (2) stages. These are instructions for
Part One. Feedback will be provided before you complete Part Two. You will be expected to utilize
that feedback before making revisions for Part Two, due later in the course.
For this assignment, you will visit a virtual art museum and engage in a formal analysis of a selected
artwork, considering the work as primary source. By formal analysis, I am asking you to consider the
artwork’s visual attributes as they relate to the formal elements and principles of design (listed on page
41). In addition to the visual elements, you will discuss the artist’s choice of medium.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT
You will use and apply concepts learned in Module 2 in Canvas and Part 1 of the textbook (starting on page
41). Before completing this essay, review pages 38-39 and pages 170-172 of the textbook.
FORMAT AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
 Part One of the Museum Report should be at least 4 full pages in length, no less than 1200 words.
Include a word count at the bottom of your essay.
 Although I am calling this essay a “part” or a “stage” of a writing process, do NOT submit a draft. You are
expected to submit a fully complete essay for both Part One and Part Two, with clearly developed
introduction and conclusion paragraphs for each stage.
 Use MLA guidelines when composing your paper. Use 12-point font, Times New Roman, one inch
margins and indent the first line of each new paragraph. Double-space your paper. Italicize all artwork
titles. Writing in first person is acceptable.

INSTRUCTIONS
A work of art is the product of the dynamic interrelationships between the various art elements and
principles. As you analyze the artwork, ask yourself why the artist made such choices. By considering the
formal elements and principles of design involved, you can make yourself look more closely at the work
of art, and thus understand more fully the artist’s intended vision, as well as noticing how the work reflects
the time and place from whence it came.
You must address ALL the prompts below within your essay, but your response need not be organized in
the exact order given. Your paper must include proper introductory and concluding paragraphs.
I. Formal Analysis (this section should be the “meat” of your paper): Find any work of art in the
museum that interests you. You will engage in a thorough visual analysis of that work. There should be no
need to consult outside sources for the content of your paper. Reflect directly on the work using the
material you have learned from the course. Follow the guidelines below.
•
Identify the work fully (artist name if known, title if available, time period or date, medium,
dimensions or approximate dimensions).
•
Provide a brief description of the subject matter of the work.
•
Analyze, describe, and discuss the work in terms of three (3) formal elements of art.
•
Analyze, describe, and discuss the works’ composition using three (3) principles of design.
•
o
**IMPORTANT: It is expected that the analysis of the work’s formal elements and
principles of design be the most in-depth and therefore most time should be spent on
this section. You must demonstrate your understanding of the concepts learned in the
course by utilizing appropriate course vocabulary within your analysis. Please use precise
terminology associated with the elements and principles chosen. Failure to do so will result
in a reduced grade. Consult the chapters and course material from Module 2.
o
Spend a good amount of time looking at the work and taking notes. It is helpful to provide
the reader with an overall picture of the work you are describing. You may find it useful to
pretend you are describing the work to someone who cannot see, but must create an
impression of the work based solely on your words. Clearly and articulately analyze and
describe the formal elements and principles of design that you see in the work. There may
be many, but be selective and try to determine the most significant elements of composition.
Remember to utilize key terms from the textbook associated with the specific
elements/principles chosen.
Is the work non-objective, representational, figurative, or abstract? Note that a work of art can fall
into more than one of these categories. Please explain fully and in a way that demonstrates you
have a correct understanding of the term(s) as it relates to our course content.
II. Discussion of Medium: Examine your artwork further by discussing the medium used and the artist’s
technique and application of materials. Is the object two- or three-dimensional? What limitations, if any,
might the chosen medium create for the artist? Below are some further questions to consider, depending
on the type of medium employed. See Part Two of your textbook (Media & Processes) for further information
on art materials and media.
•
Painting: How did the type of paint affect the strokes the artist could make? Was it fresco, oil, tempera, or
watercolor? Was it a fast-drying paint that allowed little time to make changes? What kind of textures and lines
Page 2 of 4
ARH2000 Art & Culture
was the artist able to create with this medium? Does it lend a shiny or flat look? How durable was the medium?
Does the work look the same today as when the artist painted it?
•
Drawing: Consider the materials utilized: metal point, chalk, charcoal, graphite, crayon, pastel, ink, and wash. Is
the artist able to make controlled strokes with this medium? Would the tool create a thick or thin, defined or
blurred line? Was the drawing intended to be a work of art in itself, or is it a study for another work, a peek into
the artist’s creative process?
•
Printmaking: What is the process the artist undertook to create this work? Did he or she need to carve or etch?
Did the medium require a steady hand? Strength or patience?
•
Photography: What is the process the artist undertook to create this work? Is it an example of early
photography or more recent processes? Is it created from digital, film or other processes? Documentary? Staged?
•
Sculpture: Is the sculpture high or low relief, or can we see it in the round? What challenges did the material
present to the artist? Was the work created through a subtractive process or an additive one? What tools did the
artist use to create the form? Is your work created from constructing or assembling things together?
•
Craft: Is it made of fiber, textile, ceramics, metalwork, glass, etc? Is the art object considered craft or fine art?
Why? Can works of fine art be utilitarian, in your opinion?
•
Alternative media and processes: Is your work a video, sound art, interactive, a work of conceptual art or even a
performance piece? How does it differ from traditional works of art? Did you encounter the actual work itself, or
is it documentation of an event or a time-based piece? Do you find it easier or more difficult to apply a formal
analysis to this type of work? Explain.
III. Interpretation: This is the part of the paper where you go beyond description and offer a conclusion
and your own informed opinion about the work.
•
Consider how the formal aspects of the work and the subject matter work together to produce
significant meaning.
•
How did the artist’s choice of materials and medium affect its message and reception?
•
What questions does the work raise or leave you with, if any? Is it possible to make a reasoned
statement about the artist’s aim?
•
Describe your personal reaction to the work. Did a visual analysis change your first reaction and
interpretation of the work?
In addition to the above, include the following somewhere within your essay:
•
Which museum did you attend?
•
What is the basic organization of the museum’s collections? Discuss your personal overall
impression of the experience itself, the museum, the exhibitions and their presentation.
•
Do not forget to include your “Proof of Attendance” (screenshot of the work within the virtual
museum).

Art is a form of visual language, and much as we use vocabulary and grammar to communicate verbally,
artists use a visual vocabulary (the elements of art) and rules similar to grammar (the principles of art).
When we study an artwork, we can use the same elements and principles to analyse the work: a process
called visual analysis. In this part you will learn about the elements and principles and will be shown how
to apply them in a visual analysis. You will also learn how to use two other concepts when you analyse a
work of art: style and content.

The ten elements of art are:
Color
Form
Line
Mass
Motion and Time
Shape
Space
Texture

The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory
wa
In 1931, Dalí first explored his now-legendary soft or melting watch motif, finding inspiration in a wedge of runny cheese. In this and other works,
oozing timepieces represent the meaninglessness and fluidity of time, our dependence on structured schedules and the chaos that would ensue should
time disintegrate.
