Homework: Compare Michelangelo of the same subject version as David of Donatello. how

Do the differences indicate the difference in style between the two periods?

Sculpted form, but different in many important ways reflecting each materialization

Early and advanced Renaissance style. The most obvious difference between the two,

Each artist chooses to portray the fight. Donatello's David triumph over his head

Defeated enemy, his own head, almost female reflection, ideal picture

Male nude, Michelangelo grabbed his David at the moment before the fight.

He is proud to be in a perfect opponent's position. His hand has a sling, the only image

While watching the whole work, watch in one shoulder, distantly meditative, in a nearly bad way

Gaze. This David is no longer a shy and beautiful young vision.

The realization of the identity of Florence and the complete realization of the artistic ability of the Renaissance

• Always look to the audience of work. Newspaper articles are quite different from pure academic analysis.

· When describing artworks, please write it now. The historical period that has mentioned the artist's life and works is generally the past era

Believe in your eyes. If the job causes a reaction, then almost always there is a reason for this reaction. Learn to express your intuition in a way that will help your audience

• I asked why the artist made a concrete decision and then tried to imagine what it would be like. Why is the dress painted in red rather than blue? Reasons to choose marble

This is a comprehensive review of the artist's history and practice, from mere critiques to the encyclopedia history. It aims to clarify the importance of art to museums, art galleries and general aesthetic theory. Pay particular attention to the writer's history and social framework. Beyond the door of contemporary artist studios there is a world of hidden images - distant or recent works of art are animated, annoyed, comforted and attracts contemporary artists. This book reveals the hidden world and shows intimate guides to the imagination of today's leading practitioners through their favorite works.

There are several kinds of analysis in the writing of art and art history. Formal analysis is mainly used for the writing of studio courses. Style, sponsorship and image analysis are mainly used for writing art history courses. Theoretical analysis is used in both fields. Below is a brief description of all styles and hints of the authoring process. In formal analysis, the use of artistic elements (lines, shapes, spaces, values, colors, and textures) and artistic principles (unity, harmony, balance, rhythm, contrast, advantage, gradual change) is discontinued. We pay close attention to the characteristics of art and art (emotion, aesthetics, space). It details how to use each element and principle in art. This type of sentence is usually generalized.

Writing a paper on an art history course is similar to a research-based analysis paper that can be written in an English literature course or a history course. Research and writing of art history includes analysis of written literature, but major literature is art, so there is a big difference between the writing of art history and other fields. An important reference guide on the research and analysis of art works, and the writing of art historical thesis is "Introduction to Art Writing" after the 10th edition of Sylvan Barnet. Barnet teaches students through the steps of thinking about research topics, gathering information, and writing and documenting papers
