In lieu of attending class on October 31, students will be asked to go to a museum and look at the paintings. (The class is meeting on November 5 at noon in the Main Hall of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, if you want to join us as a group. We will be looking at the collection and then go to lunch in the cafeteria downstairs.)
Possible museums to visit are as follows: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum, The Guggenheim Museum, The Rubin Museum, The Neue Gallery, The Bronx Museum of Art, The Staten Island Museum at Snug Harbor, The Brooklyn Museum, The Queens Museum, The Frick Collection. Bring proof of your attendance—a ticket stub or receipt, etc.
This paper will count the equivalent of one painting towards your semester grade.

This paper will count the equivalent of one painting towards your semester grade.
View the paintings at the museum of your choice and choose
TWO that relate in some way to your own work. Record who the artists are and
list the dates they were made, medium, etc. Take a picture of each, and include them with your paper (no flash
used of course).
Write a description of each painting and then compare and contrast them. How are they similar? How are they different? What things were the artists trying to communicate? What is the subject matter? Theme? Mood? What can you infer from looking at the works? Describe the composition. What are the art elements and principles you notice? (line, shape, color, texture, pattern, light and dark, volume, balance, rhythm, symmetry, asymmetry, etc.)
This should be at least two pages, type-written.
