    Visual Analysis: Assignment # 3

    A visual analysis addresses an artworks formal elementsvisual attributes such as color,


    line, texture, and size. A visual analysis may also include historical context or interpretations of
    meaning.
    1) Observe the artwork and write down your observations. Be precise. Consider the composition,
    colors, textures, size, space, and other visual and material attributes of the image. Go beyond
    your first impressions. This should take some timeallow your eye to absorb the image. Making
    a sketch of the work can help you understand its visual logic.
    2) Thesis: Formulate a main claim. Questions to consider:
    Who is the intended audience of the image?
    What emotions is the image trying to evoke? Why?
    What is the images agenda? Who controls what the image is saying? What does it say about
    society? What does it say about who we/ you are?
    3) Consider how formal elements impact the meaning of the image.
    4) Evidence: Support your main claim with visual elements details. Target your description.
    Address only those elements relevant to your main claim.
    5) Analysis: Explain why you have chosen to discuss these specific elements. In other words,
    explain the significance of your choices for your main claim (thesis).
    6) Your essay must follow the conventions of clear and precise essay. There must be a proper
    introduction and at least two supporting paragraphs.
    Essay Outline:
    Introduction:
    1) Hook: introduce the topic, start your paper with a general statement about your topic that
    catches the readers attention: a relevant quotation, question, anecdote, fascinating fact,
    definition, analogy, an opposing position, a detail that is not widely known, or a dilemma that
    needs a solution.
    2) Context: dont assume your readers know anything about the material discussed. Provide the
    information the reader will need to understand the topic (background informationname of the
    work, the artist, and a brief summary of the work)
    3) Summary: the main ideas from each of the body paragraphs are here summarized in order to
    explain what is to come in the essay, but also be sure to highlight the progression of your thought
    process. In doing this you devise a mental road map for reader.
    4) Thesis: state your arguable position on the topic that you will support with evidence in your
    body paragraphs. The thesis statement comes at the end of the introduction. It is the most
    important sentence in the entire essay because it presents your position on the essay topic. It
    must relate to the main ideas that will be discussed in the body paragraphs.
    Body: P1- 2
    1) Topic Sentence: provide the main idea of the paragraph.
    2) Supporting Evidence: include specific visual evidence.
    3) Analysis: analyze your evidence: tell the reader what is significant or important about this
    evidence you provided. How does the piece of evidence support your thesis? Think about why
    you chose to include it.
