Web of Life Art Analysis
by: Amanda Chen Huang and Sejung Park
We wish we analyzed more about the colors of the painting and why the painting was so long as opposed to a regular sized painting.

Not At Home
by: Jonathan Goldhirsch, Tina Zhu and Pooneet Thaper
We really did a wonderful job of analyzing the color schemes and the emotions that it evokes. Our group tried to get inside the mind of the artist and explore the painting from different perspectives. We focused on how specific artistic techniques and their purpose on the painting and effect on the audience.

A Storm In the Rocky Mountains
by: Michael Englard, Matthew Rindenow, Maxwell Sternberg
We mainly looked at this painting through a historical analysis. We talked about the history of the Native Americans, and their struggles with Western society. We also noticed the artists use of lighting, symbols, and extraordinarily descriptive details. We talked about light and about the symbolism of the storm and clouds coming towards the Indian camp. We noticed broken trees as well, which symbolize the dooming threat from the Americans, and their ideas of manifest destiny.

House of Parliament by Monet
by: Jimmy Assis, Steven Borodach, Daniel Jonas, Yosef Kessler
We heavily reflected on the visual aspects of the painting. We noted various uses of light and brushstroke by the painter. We also brought up the political context of the painting. We did not mention, however, the historical context and explain the significance of time on the painting. If we had more time, we would have done research regarding the painting and the painter.

Letitia Wilson Jordan
by: Nona Bankova, Helen Seif, Adam Wolfson, Tina Zhu, Abe Whitmeyer, Jennifer Chang
We did a compilation of formal qualities, basic facts, subject matter, critical judgement, and style. If we had more time, we would have like to analyze the painting from a contextual lens as well as the patronage for the painting and its interpretation.

Brooklyn Museum: Egyptian Exhibit
by: Sara Dhani
At the museum in my group, discussion of the mediums used, age and perhaps historical context of the piece occurred. There was references to the direct appearance of the work and how that indicated time. There wasn’t as much reference to underlying motives of the artists and that is what I would’ve liked to reflected upon if there was more time.

Brooklyn Museum Reflections “kiss Me and You’ll Kiss the ‘Lasses’
by: Daniel Furhang and Sammy Dayan
We analyzed the picture physically, as well as the artists background. We mentioned the geographic locations, but did not analyze the pictures materials, or the techniques the artist may have used. We also did not analyze how the artist may have felt when she was paining.

The FAILE & BÄST Deluxx Fluxx Arcade
by: Jack Nasar and Rashelle Gersh
We did formal observations by discussing the actual content of the arcade room. We physically described the objects and colors that we saw, and the way they made us feel. We did not discuss the subject matter (which is pretty hard to describe anyway) or the historical context of the exhibition (because it represents modern culture, not the past).

Commentary on Mummy of an Anonymous Man
by: Gjelina Gjini; Dajana Alku
As a group, we focused on analyzing the physical aspects of the artwork. We were intrigued by the colors and material of the mummy and questioned why the artist chose to employ specific elements such as the object the mummy was depicted as holding and trying to understand their symbolic significance. We tried to connect our hypotheses with the social historical background information that we may have had prior to our visit. It would have been more helpful if we had more information about how Egyptian art influenced Roman art. If we had more time, it would have been wonderful to focus more on the historical significance of the artwork and what inspired it.

War Prisoners
by: Lizzie Howard, Radhika Patel
We described the details of the paintings and briefly explained the historical context. If we had more time, we would have connected the subject matter to the historical context and talked about the artist’s purpose of creating that painting.
