1. Be personal in nature and tone. Your intro can begin to accomplish this. Draw your reader into your paper with a compelling introduction that sets the tone of appreciation—for example, identify how you came in contact with the work and why you selected it. See examples in your textbook for sophisticated ways to do this using excellent description or personal narrative.
2. Your thesis (typically the last sentence of your intro) will make a direct connection between YOU and the Peru – Machu Picchu, Morning Light, by clearly addressing the appreciative aspect and providing an interpretive element.
3. Identify the artist and provide any relevant biographical (personal context) information.
4. Identify the work: title, date, medium(s). (Provide an image of it for your readers, too!)
5. Identify any relevant context for the work. What was happening around the time it was created? Are there any special influences we should know about to help us appreciate the work? This can be historical or cultural information. You’ll be using your summarizing skills to do this. Include proper citation for source material.
6. Describe the work, focusing on the features you identify as significant. Here you can also get personal, discussing the technical or design elements (line, color, shape, space, perspective, etc.) that especially caught your attention, or that significantly contribute to the meaning of the work. Think about questions such as these: Was it the imagery that caught your attention? How? Why? Was it rendered in a particular way? Was it the color that caught your attention? Why? What aspects of hue, value and intensity make this work outstanding? Etc.
7. Interpret the work. Why was it created? What is the message of the work and how do we come to know it? Here, you’ll be combining your knowledge of technical elements with information you learned about the historical context of the work and the artist’s message. You’ll also be employing your summarizing skills in this section.
