Write a critical analysis of the artwork. research outside the site for more information, and answer the following questions in paragraph form about that artwork. Word count should be at least 250-You may write in first person voice but keep it objective!
- Introduce: Give the name of the artist, title (in italics or quotations), date, with a brief background.
- Describe: Give a brief but informative visual description of the work.
- Analyze: How is the artwork designed or presented to the viewer?
- Interpret: What is this artist trying to communicate?

- Please cite an outside source that supports your analysis. Reading should be in addition to Art21 and should also be evident in your analysis.
(By “evident” we mean you should either mention it in support: “Author Jane Doe states in her article, All about Puppies, that “the way Clifford paints puppies reflects the homeless puppy problem.” or weave it into your analysis more indirectly but it should be still be evident and cited at the end.)
Feedback from the last submission:
It’s difficult for me to make comments directly on what you’ve written if you don’t submit your weekly writing assignment as a Word document as instructed.
Overall, you’ve got some great research here, but you’ve never named or indicated what piece you were discussing. All of the information is broad, and it’s difficult to follow exactly what you’re referring to as you jump between broad statements of his body of work and a specific, unnamed and undescribed film.
While your parenthetical notations do indicate that you’ve found some sources, without your full citation, I don’t know what those sources are.
Choose a single body of work and include a description. It’s often difficult to describe a piece of Barney’s given the length and….well….for lack of a better word, the oddness of the films, but it’s necessary to follow your analysis.
