Description

Introduction

In this evaluation, we are starting to think about the context of the work, such as where you see it, when it was made, who it was made by and for what purpose, and the way the media it is made of have been used. We also think about the subject matter (the things portrayed in the work), if there is any, as well as how it has been portrayed. Why depict this, at this time, in this particular way? Why not something else?

Unit Learning Outcomes

  • Define the creative process and describe the roles that artists most often assume when they engage in that process. (CLO 4)

  • Describe how formal elements can connect to meanings (CLO 1,3)
  • Describe how historical context can affect meaning (CLO 2,3,4)

  2. Provide a short answer (150 to 300 words) to each of the questions about the work posed below.
  3. Submit the written response as a Word or PDF document named: Assignment5.lastname.doc.
  1. Which of the 4 roles of the artist mentioned in chapter 1 do you think this artist fits into the best? Why?
  2. What has the most emphasis in the work, or what is its focal point? What does that tell you about the work?
  3. What associations (thoughts, feelings) does this work bring up for you? Tell us what element, principle of design or subject matter helps make each association.
  4. How might your reaction to this work be different if the paint was used in a rougher way, like van Gogh, where all the brushstrokes were clear and visible?
  5. How does the artist’s identity affect how you read the work?

Which of the artist's four roles mentioned in chapter 1 do you think this artist fits into the
best? Why?
According to the four roles of the artist, as discussed in chapter 1, I think Kehinde
Wiley's role is to help us see the world in new or innovative ways. It is much more than obvious
that the artist in this piece duplicated a piece drawn earlier; he changed the work of art and
innovated it in a newer way. The artist's blatant change of how we view the historical figure in
the painting allows us as viewers of the art to have a new and unique view of the world. Wiley
sends a message that has been evident in our history books of injustice and inequality (Murray,
2016). The man riding the horse transits from Napoleon to a strong black man. In one way, the
