Journal Prompt #1: Objective Description & Subjective Analysis
Using any of theExternal Links, find two works of art: the first onetwo-dimensional, (such as a painting, drawing, or print), the secondthree-dimensional,(such as architecture, sculpture, furniture, or ceramics). For each one, write four sentences describing the elements present in the work using the
Formalist Method
. This method describes what you see in a totally objective way.
Do not refer to any subject matter
. Remember, be objective in your descriptions. An example might be; “The work uses a majority of organic shapes”, or “It uses the complimentary colors yellow and violet for contrast”.

Then, for each work, write one sentence that describes your subjective reaction. An example might be “The artwork has a chaotic feeling to it,” or “Looking at the work made me feel lonely.”

Please include the identification of the work you are analyzing! The title, a link, or even an image of the piece you are referring to will help.

Journal Prompt #2:Translating an Image
Find a realistic image using theexternal links(or an image of your own creation). Translate this image into an abstract composition of lines and shapes by reducing it down in two steps. See the examples on the "Line Drawings for Journal Prompt 3" page.

Again, please include the identification of the work you are abstracting! The title, a link, or even an image of the piece you are referencing will help.
