Descriiption:
Caravaggio, The Calling of Saint Matthew, 1599-1600, Contarelli Chapel, San Luigi dei Francesi, Rome
The viewing of objects is essential to understanding art and artifacts, their size, material, condition, etc. This short assignment will demonstrate your ability to describe and formally analyze an art object. The object should be selected from the list provided. This short paper should be about 2 pages in length, 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with standard (1”) margins. The paper should briefly introduce the chosen work, then describe and visually analyze the object. The purpose of this exercise to sharpen your powers of observation, and to give you practice in putting your perceptions into words. This assignment will first require close looking and observation, followed by carefully thought out written descriiption.
Discuss the object’s size, materials, style, present condition, and overall appearance. What effects do size, form, and material have on the viewer’s experience? What aspects of the object have been emphasized by the artist? What is the overall impression we receive and what gives us this impression? How have ornamentation, permanence, animation, or perhaps symmetry been emphasized? What features are suggestive of movement, energy, and life, or a lack of these characteristics? Where and how does the artist focus or structure the viewer’s gaze? This is a formal descriiption paper and not a research project, but you may comment on the object’s original function if this contributes to your overall understanding of the form and appearance of the object.
Paper Guidelines:
You are not required to have a bibliography, as this is a looking assignment, but if you do consult an outside resource, please use the Chicago Manual of Style for endnotes and bibliography
Provide photocopied or scanned images of the works discussed and be sure to include labels or captions where necessary.
Titles of works are underlined or italicized, applies to both captions and text.
Some issues to consider:
Painting-
color: Is the painting more defined by line or by color? What are the colors used? Are the colors generally light or dark, warm or cool? Are they all shades of one color, or many contrasting colors? What is the effect of this? Do the colors tie elements of the painting together?
line: Is the line rough and sketchy or smooth end elegant? Do the lines of the work move in generally the same direction? Is there a sense of flow or motion achieved (in the form, not movement in the pictured scene)?
texture: Can you see the brushstrokes or not? Is the surface of the painting rough or smooth?
space: Does the space recede deeply or is it a shallow space? How is this sense achieved? Is space suggested by diagonals leading into space, or by parallel planes? Is the main interest near or far? Does the space seem circumscribed or does it burst out beyond the frame?
light: Where is the light source in the painting? How does the artist use light in the scene? How does the artist use paint to convince the eye the figures have volume and weight?
composition: How are elements arranged across the canvas? Is there an order to this arrangement? Is the focus of the scene in one place or scattered across the canvas? Do parts of the image seem crowded? Do parts seem empty? How does your eye follow the unfolding of the picture? Are foreground and background elements tied together or separate? Is your eye drawn to a particular point in the painting? If so, how is that focusing of attention achieved by the formal elements of the work? How are objects grouped together? Are there groupings of figures? Do these groupings feel stable or unstable? Do you feel you could pluck an object out of the painting or do the objects seems all part of the same painted substance?
