pre thought three dimensional art formal analysis of sculpture
1. Take a look at the image below. What are your thoughts? What is your initial emotional reaction (your Dionysian response)? What, after some some contemplation, is your reasoned (Apollonian) response? What would you think are formalistic elements important in analyzing the work?
I am looking for a short response between 100 and 200 words.
2. Let’s take a look at a very well known statue and apply some of the things we have learned about looking at sculpture.
In a short essay of about 300 words do a formalistic analysis of the statue shown here.
