Exercise: Writing about Art

Apology.John Chaka. date unknown

Instructions: Using the supplied image as a reference and the comments section of this blog write your interpretations of the artist's concept while creating it. If you're not sure how to approach this, answer these questions:

• What is the artist trying to say- if anything?
• Why did he choose the colors he did?
• Are the artist's "thoughts" being sufficiently articulated?
• What do the elements of the work represent?

Post your results/critique of the work in the comments section. Don't forget to check back because we will be discussing the work here as the semester progresses.
