Paper details A visual analysis does not require any research. The assignment is an exercise in using your eyes and previous knowledge to understand any given art object. It is NOT a mere written description of the object. Try to determine why the object was made and for whom. The artist created the object for a specific reason and with a specific audience in mind. The object itself provides clues for the answers to these questions. The object must come from a culture and time period to be covered in class. (Early Buddhist Art in India or Early civilization in India)

All museums now have some sort of online exhibition available to the public. You will select the object of your analysis from an online museum virtual exhibition that includes artwork from anywhere but Europe or the United States. Since you will not be able to experience the object in person, go to an online museum outside of the Los Angeles area, preferably one on another continent. You will need to cite the online museum exhibition that includes the object of your analysis. Before submitting the assignment, be sure to look at the rubric. You can find the rubric by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner of this assignment.

If you use a photo from any other source, you must cite that source or you will be committing plagiarism. Content: Content deals with how much analysis was provided and whether that analysis was logical and methodologically presented. Did you present the issue and then proceed to cover all parts of it? If you claimed that an object is “beautiful,” did you explain how the object expresses that beauty? https://youtu.be/sM2MOyonDsY
