Consider these questions when writing your paper:

• What is the medium, form, subject matter, and context of the artwork?

• What is the history of the artwork? Do you need to conduct more research?

• What is your individual interpretation, reaction, and opinion of the artwork?

• Do you know anything about the artist/designer of the artwork? Can you find out more?

• What methods of art analysis can you use? Recall these methods from class and the text.

• Does the artwork have a specific meaning? Consider social, cultural, and political trends.

Remember to include a bibliography/works cited page at the end, with every source you used for your paper.

Also include the image of your artwork at the end.
