Assignment 2

Before we proceed into A2 I would like you to take 5 minutes and write one sentence about each movement we discussed in regard to the Wolfflin Polarities. Just consolidate what you learned into one sentence for Renaissance and one for Baroque.

For A2 I would like you to apply what you learned from the Wolflin Polarities to a working artist of today. You can find anything. An article about the artist would be fantastic. You have some flexibility here but I would like some in depth analysis. Review a few pieces from the artist. If you do a lot of exploring and you are having a hard time post it anyways! We will learn from whatever you find.

Due Friday, 27 February, 10 PM EST

  1. R: The Renaissance was less realistic-- every painting was created as an idealized copy of the figure.

    B: Baroque art is more realistic because artists began to paint exactly what was there as opposed to what would make it prettier.

  2. Wow, cool post. I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real hard work to make a great article... but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though. Class 7 Assignment Answer
