BrooklynMuseumHarmonyChair
by: Roshan Chudhry, Erin McDermott, Melissa Lent, Olivia Palacios, Sabrina Song, Simmeon Chanka, Madison Paredes, Afroza Ahmed, Michelle Jung
We did a great deal of interpretation and formal analysis while maintaining a sense of cultural and historical relevance while including modern events. If we had more time we would add more formal properties and description.

Macaulay Night at the Museum: featuring “The Road of the War Prisoners”

Levels of Analysis Discussed: Description, Interrogation, Subject Matter of the Piece, Historical Context, Artist's Intention, Observers' Interpretations
Levels of Analysis Neglected: Formal Properties (addressed in captions in the video)
If I had more time, I would have liked to add classical music for the slides that have no associated audio.

Bobo Masks
by: Heather Trazino, Jordan Williams, Caroline Zuba, Muhammad ?
Our analysis focused on the appearance, symbolism, and historical background of Bobo masks. We did not go into much detail on formal properties such as scale and composition because they were not as applicable to these pieces as some others. If we had more time, we would have liked to research the culture further and understand why the horns were added to the masks.

Brooklyn Museum- Analysis of Egyptian Exhibit
by: Prashanth Thomas, Yasa Syed, Olga Pinkhasov
During our time at the museum, our analyses focused on the description, formal properties, and historical context of the art. We also included some interrogation, as we were questioning the pieces we were viewing. Our descriptions were slightly lacking artist's intention. With more time, it would be great if we could extend the analysis into what the artist was trying to communicate with the audience and connect that to what we learned. Overall, the Brooklyn Museum was a great experience and we definitely learned about art and ourselves throughout this experience.

“Last Days of Pompeii” James Hamilton
by: Michael Miranda, Adam McKoy, Christo Vairamon, Ishraq Khan, Mohammed Kallash
We did mostly literal observation regarding the use of colors and brightness. We touched upon emotional reactions. We didn't use very technical art critic terms as we lack the expertise. We would like to have had more time to edit the video.

Night at the Museum – Portrait of a Lady
by: Melissa D'Angelo, Alex Matuszewski, Elizabeth D'Angelo, Leah Herzberg, Cheyenne Madrid
We used the analysis of description, interrogation, formal properties, subject matter, historical context and artist's intention. We used all of them and didn't really leave anything out. If we had more time we definitely would've talked more about the painting in general.

The Chief’s Chair
by: Karolina Mackiewicz, Melagras Mirzakandova, William Lee, Rasman Rayyan, Owen Barnett, Christopher Alessandro, Redi Shuli,
We were able to analyze the formal properties of the sculpture along with our individual interpretations. Later we were able to look up the historical content of the sculpture and better interpret the meaning of the work.

Media Arts Day
by: Gabriela Dotel, Danae Henry, Zill Ratanji
At the museum, during our conversations, we had conversation about all of the types of analysis with the exception of Interrogation and subject matter/content. We did not put too much effort into finding the history of the time period around which this work was created. Also when analyzing the formal qualities of "Heat", we noticed that we spent a lot of time on the color and what the artist was probably trying to portray using them, and little to no time on other formal qualities, such as, line, shape, scale, material, etc.

Cecelia Beaux, Mrs. Roberts
by: Priyanka Thomas, Soon-Hee Shimizu, Abir Petiwala, Sam George, and Ariane Marchese
Our group analyzed Ceclia Beaux’s Mrs. Robert Abbe at the Brooklyn Museum. We discussed multiple facets of the painting and focused on the artistic choices of Beaux. The highly experimental style of the painter portrays the originality and peculiarity of her work. The dress in particular reflected this unusual style. At first glance, it seems like a messily painted dress, but her life long devotion to art allows us to view this style as an intentional choice. We connected this dress to the defiance of a woman in a time period where women were expected to be compliant and unoriginal. This was a reflection of the artist herself, because she was an unmarried woman, unusual in her time.

Erotica in Ancient Egypt
by: Katarina Depasquale, Tayba Aziz, Nailah Garard
Historical Context, Description, interrogation, subject matter, content. We did not do formal properties. If we had more time we would want to more on the formal properties and all the structural components of the piece.
