TEAM GALLERY REVIEW
CRITICAL THINKING AND TEAM WORK SKILLS VALUE RUBRIC.
The class will be randomly assigned a team of 3 or more students. The Teams that are
created will meet either in class or in eCampus. Once the team is established, they should
meet to discuss which professional art gallery in which to meet and the rubric for the
assignment. Within a team, each team member will select 1 work of art in an approved
professional art gallery. Each individual team member will create a power point with images
of the art work they have chosen. The team may have to seek permission to photograph the
object from the gallery or artist. If the students are not allowed to photograph the work, the
students should choose another gallery. Identify and describe these works of art based on the
specifications given in the rubric.
The power point has a template that can be found under the Gallery/Museum Review
button. When completed, each team member will then post it under the File Exchange link
under the TEAM Rev.email button.
The team will attempt to contact one another and agree to meet at a local gallery at an
agreed time and place. If this is not possible for all team members, this can be completed by
sharing the individual team members’ power points through email to the group.
This will include three levels of discussion of each piece: Description, Analysis and
Interpretation. The team will utilize the Visual Elements and Principles of Design, and process
in the creation of this work of art following the specifications given in the rubric.
The power point will conclude with a comparison between the art objects submitted from
other team members.
EACH INDIVIDUAL TEAM MEMBER WILL POST THEIR COMPLETED TEAM POWER POINT
UNDER THE SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS BUTTON UNDER THE MODULE IN WHICH IT IS DUE. THIS
IS WHERE THE GRADING BY THE INSTRUCTOR TAKES PLACE.

NOT ALLOWED, YOU WILL NEED TO FIND A GALLERY THAT WILL ALLOW A PHOTO.
Look for these VISUAL ELEMENTS: visual tools an artist has to make a work of art
1. Line: Lines can show outline, imply a third dimension, show direction or movement
2. Shape and Mass: Shape refers to 2 dimensions, for instance, a square. Mass refers to 3
dimensions, for instance, a cube.
3. Light: Light reveals form. Where is the light source? What is the range of values, from
light to dark, in the art you are reviewing?
4. Color: How does the artist use color in the art object you are reviewing? Is it the primary
colors only? Is it emotionally soothing or jarring?
5. Texture and pattern: Does the art object you are viewing have actual texture, could you
feel it? Or does it have implied texture, suggesting that it is smooth or rough? Does it have an
overall pattern on the surface?
6. Space: If your object is architectural or sculptural, it will have 3 dimensional space. Try to
describe the space. If your object is two dimensional, how does the artist imply space, for
example, through linear perspective, overlapping of objects, smaller or larger objects, or
atmospheric perspective?
7. Time and motion: Does the art object imply time, for instance, a sunset, or motion, for
instance, a sculpture that moves?
Look for these PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN: the organization of the composition or design of the art
work
1. Unity and Variety: Unity is a sense of oneness in the art. Variety maintains interest in art
2. Balance: Symmetrical balance occurs when both sides of the art object are similar in size or
shape. Asymmetrical balance occurs when the two sides are quite different in the appearance
of the objects in the art.
3. Emphasis and Subordination: How does the artist draw your eye to the center of attention
of the art object? How does the artist make the rest of the painting subordinate to the center
of interest?
4. Scale and Proportion: Scale means size in relation to a standard or "normal"
size. Proportion refers to size relationships between parts of a whole, or between two or
more items perceived as a unit. Sometimes these are deliberately incorrect, as in Hierarchal
Scale in the art of antiquity.
5. Rhythm or repetition: The repeated use of a color, shape or line to create expression

pm, there is a blue background wall which is 6 feet high and 15 feet
in length with 12 life sized plaster casts of arms and faces. Each
arm and face is approximately the same size, but each has great
variety in the manner in which they are decorated. Some have
colorful stripes, some have abstract designs, and the fingers of
each hand are in a different position.

For example: According to
http://artdiaspora.omeka.net/items/show/10, “Jones’ interest in
religious rituals may have inspired this installation, but it was this
installation that inspired Ben Jones to look deeper into his African
roots.” The use of color and line on the 3 dimensional shapes are
important Visual Elements used in this art work. The artist also used
Unity and Variety from the Principles of Design by creating 12
separate arms and heads approximately the same shape by with
various painting treatments.

links between the living and the dead and also the dual
nature of artistic expression itself (between the world of
matter and the world of spirit or conscious and
unconscious).

For Example: This work was created from trips to Big Bend
by the artist. He obviously loves the organic beauty that
can be found in nature. The rough texture of the rock seen
in a black and white photo repeats similarly in the clouds
and mountains that can be seen in the atmospheric
perspective of the landscape. Centering the rock with the
hole really works as a strong meditative focal point.

Summarize your reaction to this art object.
Compare this work of art with at least one other team
member’s gallery review from this same gallery.
For Example: This work is clearly intended to document nature
and force the viewer to see it in a new way—black and white.
The rock seems so stoic yet has weathered a lot of storms. I
can see myself as this rock. Standing strong despite what I
face and changing slightly with every blow. Yet we are able to
see through the rock to the beautiful horizon. Maybe this is
symbolic of a hero. Through their pain and challenges, others
find hope and inspiration.
This work is quite different from Student 1’s work visually in
terms of form, however similar in content. Both seem to
express symbolism, human experience, and spirituality.
COMPARISON BETWEEN STUDENT 1
AND STUDENT 2 ARTWORK
The artwork I chose has a lot of unity and variety and is sculptural and three dimensional. The work chosen by
Student 2 is a two dimensional photography that is one analogous color theme.

PIONEER LIFE PICTURED:
THE LITTLE HOUSE BOOKS OF
LAURA INGALLS WILDER
A daughter of woodland pioneers and prairie homesteaders, Laura Ingalls
Wilder
grew up to retell the story of her family's iconic westward journey
in a series of eight closely linked historical novels for young readers--and a
ninth, discovered years later, whose precise relationship to the others is
uncertain. In doing so, Wilder gave children's literature's most enduring
account of life on the American frontier. The first book, Little House in the
Big Woods, was published in 1932, with illustrations by Helen Sewell, and
later volumes appeared from 1933 to 1943, all with art by Sewell (and,
from the fourth book onward, in collaboration with Mildred Boyle).
By the post-war baby boom years, Sewell's stylishly decorative illustrations
looked dated, and in an effort to introduce Wilder's saga to a new
generation, Harper commissioned Garth Williams to produce original art
for all eight books, which for the first time would now also share a
uniform design.
After nearly turning down the assignment on the grounds that drawing
animals not people was his forte, Williams embraced the epic task,
meticulously researching his subjects, retracing the Wilders' wanderings
with a sketchbook and camera, and finally meeting the aging Laura and
Almanzo Wilder themselves at their Mansfield, Missouri farm. Work
began on the illusrations in 1947; the new edition appeared six years later
to considerable fanfare.
