Night at the Museum

by: Alexandra Badescu, Annmarie Gajdos, Stephanie Angus, Rehmat Sakrani


Our group mainly discussed the artist's intentions and our interpretations of them. We also talked about the historical context and the formal properties of the art piece. If we had more time, we should have talked more about the subject matter.

Seated Figure of Nakhtsaes

by: Maria Bilello, Denisha Deonarine, Christian Buonamassa


This is the Seated Figure of Nakhtsaes, a headless statue sitting down, which is very faded and dilapidated. We used description, interrogation, and historical context. We weren’t able to use formal properties, subject matter, and artist’s intention. If we had more time, we’d like to delve into the artist’s intention, and compare what he wanted use to take from the piece to what we inferred.

The Peaceable Kingdom

by: Haolin Chen, Haoxiang Chen, David Chung Loo, Ban Chung


We made description of the painting, identify the objects and their relationship with each other. We asked questions about what some of these objects are. We asked about the positions of the objects. We didn't talk about the texture, line, color, and genres. We were looking at the surface of the art. We talked briefly about the colonists and Native Americans. We had a history discussion. We finally talked about the author's intent. If we had more time, we would have talked more about the colors or the lines.

“Caught Napping” by William Sidney Mount

by: Lauren Cassidy, Michelle Zhang, Kayla Lang


We did many different types of analysis such as description, interrogation, formal properties and artist's intention. We weren't able to include the subject matter/content and historical context. This was probably due to the fact that we didn't have much prior knowledge of the time period or different genres of art. If there was more time, we would have liked to do another analysis after given some information about the art work therefore, we can have a better understanding of what is going on in the photo.
