Art Journal Week 2

Refer to the assigned reading from the textbook and required videos as examples of how to interpret works of art.

Explore a museum from the list of museum and digital image resources from Week 1, one of the Virtual Reality video tours assigned this week, or go to your local museum. Select a work of art that particularly interests you. In your analysis, use the terminology you learned this week, taking care to cite the textbook or any other source of information that you use in your journal. Include your personal reaction to the work of art and an image of the work. Include an image of the work of art you have chosen in your journal.

Use these notes to compose your journal entry.
