The Most Beautiful Object in the Museum
As you walk through the museum, you should seek the most beautiful object you can find. When you have discovered it, stand, or sit before it for at least two minutes.
Try not at first to look at the “title” or other information displayed with the object. Use your insight and imagination to understand the art before you.
Think about what thoughts and questions are going through your mind as you look at the object. Try to answer these questions in your paper; don’t just list questions without answers.
Take notes that express your feelings and thoughts plainly and simply.
Make an 8 x 10 sketch of the object, including the important details. (Do not worry about your artistic talent – I just want to see your impression of what you saw.)
This part of the paper should include:
the name of the museum you visited.
the title of the work you selected, its artist, and the country the artist is from.
a detailed description of the work and why you selected it. (If you have trouble writing your paper, go to Questions You Should Think about When Looking at ArtLinks to an external site.. Please do not list the questions you are using in your paper and will count toward your plagiarism percent in Turnitin. They will also not count toward your word count. Just answer them)
the feelings the work aroused in you.
your 8×10 sketch, including the important details.
