In Class
We discussed how to analyze works of art, and looked at four paintings by Jacob Lawrence, analyzing each for color, form, shape, symbolism, meaning and mood.
Homework:
Using Migration 57 (the women by herself) and Migration 58 (the one with the three girls writing) , write a one page paper TYPED answering the following question:
What is Lawrence revealing in these pieces?
You should look at the pieces both together and separately. Write an intro, with the answer to the question as your thesis. Then, write one body paragraph for each piece. Use your worksheet notes from class to help you. Discuss the paintings colors, subjects, symbols, shapes, mood and finally meaning. Remember, there is no wrong answer. You just need to explain what you think to be the main idea of the painting by supporting that main idea with evidence.
