Having looked at both, please select one as your choice to think and write about.

Having selected one for whatever reasons, please respond to the set of below questions.

2. Identification of the Art Object (please answer A through F):

Identify the art object (the painting) of your choice by providing the following information in the listed items A-F.
A. Title of the Work:
B. Artist:
C. Year Completed:
D. Medium Used:

G. Again, identify the medium:

H. List and explain in detail, the steps – the technique or process used (the basic tools and steps the artist would generally use) to create the work from start to finish. This can be the GENERIC steps used to make an oil painting on canvas. THIS IS FROM RESEARCH! (NO WIKIPEDIA!) This will answer FROM RESEARCH be at LEAST one paragraph. Please paraphrase – put the research in your own words. Large blocks of quotes are not given credit. Get used to paraphrasing researched items.

You are asked to describe what was first done, then what did the artist do next, and what after that in terms of the specific medium used. In other words – how is an oil painting made? What is the
GENERIC PROCESS of making an oil painting from START TO FINISH (
FROM RESEARCH)?
(NO WIKIPEDIA!)The textbook’s chapter on painting may have sufficient information for this question to be satisfactorily completed, however, it may be necessary for you to do some research on your own beyond the scope of the textbook alone in order to satisfactorily complete this question.

I. Provide an objective description, the subject matter, of the selected art object in the space below. In detail, item by item, describe what is in the image.(Dedicate at least one well-worded paragraph to this question. Provide a detailed answer.)
