Do the theories that we have studied so far help us in any way to appreciate the following works.
Niki de Saint Phalle Shooting Painting 1960 (MOMA 860.2011)
Vija Celmins Ocean with Cross 31 1971 (MOMA 675.2005)
The point of the exercise is to give insight into Duchamp, Motherwell, Bell, and Greenberg. The artworks are there in order to give you some examples to use in your discussion. They are not the focus for the paper. You can write the paper by just reading the selections from the text. You do not need to do outside work. On the other hand, I bet that if you discuss Shiraga’s painting, you look up Shiraga on line. That is fine, but give all citations. Even if you just look up Shiraga on wikipedia, give the citation. Pay attention to the note below on academic honesty. The index to our text will also direct you to two items in the text. The statement on ‘New Realism’ presumably relates to the work by Saint Phalle. The ‘Gutai Manifesto’ directly speaks to the work by Shiraga.
Try to focus on comparisons and contrasts in each paragraph. For instance, discuss and Motherwell and Greenberg AT THE SAME TIME. The most common mistake that students make is to write a paragraph about Motherwell, then a paragraph about Greenberg, then a concluding paragraph that compares. It is much better to start compare throughout. Have each paragraph present a comparison or a contrast. And draw from those comparisons and contrasts a combined interpretation of the two writers.
To make sure we are all looking at the same pictures, I indicate in parentheses, the title of a Google search that will take you to a decent image of the work in question. I do not expect you to discuss all six works. But do discuss at least two works by different artists.
Some notes about style:
In a short paper, you do NOT have room to quote more than a phrase of a few words. You might write for instance that “Bell says that we “bring with us nothing from life” in art appreciation.” This sort of quotation of five or six words is fine. But you cannot quote long sentences and whole passages in a two/three page paper. All the same, you need to provide textual evidence for your claims. When you make a claim about some view that Motherwell expresses, do refer to the relevant paragraph. For instance, you might write that “Motherwell says that abstract art is used to objectively capture the artist’s individual ego (p. 645).”
Please use outside sources as you wish. In that case, give references. You do not have to use outside sources. Think of the paper as an exercise, not as a term paper.
In a short paper, you do NOT have time for an general introduction of the sort “Plotinus was an important philosopher of the 3rd century.” Skip all that and go directly into the topic. A good title can replace the introductory remarks.

The Role of Art theories in understanding Artworks
Different theories learn are important in enabling us to appreciate the artwork. There are
various similarities in the concept portrayed in various theories. For instance in Greenberg and
Bell’s theory, there exists a concept of a direct relationship between the artwork and people in
society. In Greenberg theory of formality, there is more emphasis on the visual artwork rather
than the history behind the work or rather its relationships with the viewers. Pure visual aspects
reveal how important it is for the artworks to appear...
