For this assignment, you will take on the role of an investigative journalist by using the Internet to seek out different kinds of art works -- art that is not conventionally considered to be art. Works of art currently, or traditionally found in museums should be excluded from your examples.

Choose two, specific works of art (not general forms of art) that will make for a captivating news article. Using the art terminology and concepts outlined, describe and evaluate each art work chosen by answering the following questions. Elaborate on the details. Consider including a headline to grab your readers' attention, and be sure to include a clearly labeled URL (web-link) to the image.

What is the FORM of the work?

â?¢Is it a two-dimensional or three-dimensional work of art?
â?¢What materials are used?
â?¢What techniques or processes are used to create the art work?
â?¢What colors are used?
â?¢Describe the use of line, space and balance.
Does the work of art have SUBJECT MATTER?

â?¢If so, what is literally depicted?
â?¢Is the work of art REPRESENTATIONAL, ABSTRACT, or NONOBJECTIVE?
What is the CONTENT?

â?¢What does it mean or represent?
â?¢What is the artist's message?
â?¢Is symbolism used? If so, what is the meaning?
â?¢What is the context of the art work?
â?¢What is the function of the art work?
â?¢What traditional role of the artist is exemplified?
