This assignment is a 3 pages essay critique over a two dimensional art of work. A critique often involves both a formal evaluation of the work and a contextual critique considering the artist’s style, intention, and historical period. You will consider several questions which will help you generate an essay about the painting “white light” by Jackon Pollock. Your response should not be a list of answers, but rather reflective response to each questions written in an essay.

1) using the terms about colour, explain what colour choices you see in this painting. For example are the colour primary..? Are they complementary and intense of soft and close in value? 

2) does line or shape / form seem to be the most dominate element? Explain your choice.

3) select the two principles of design you think strengthen this work visually. 

4) if it were possible to count the number of layers of paint, how many would you estimate there to be? Explain how you determined this, and explain how texture is created in this work.

5)consider what elements stimulate our senses in this work. Is it contrast, is there a focus? Does the work feel dynamic? You choose but please explain your choice. 

6) critics have described Pollock’s style as rendering energy visible. Describe the mood or feeling of the energy this composition expresses. 

7)although Pollock is considered an abstract expressionist, he is also labeled an action painter or a gestual abstractionist. Why do you think these labels seem to fit this composition 

Select one poem from this week’s assigned readings, and identify at least three elements in the poem that you found interesting or engaging (e.g., form, language, content, and/or other literary elements). 

Then, assess how these elements affected your response to the poem, in its entirety. 

(e.g., Did these elements affect your opinions on (or reaction to) the content of the poem?  Did they cause you to focus on one aspect of the poem over others?)

Poem below:

Preludes: I

T. S. Eliot (1910)

The winter evening settles down With smell of steaks in passageways. Six o’clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps The grimy scraps Of withered leaves about your feet And newspapers from vacant lots; The showers beat	5
On broken blinds and chimney-pots, And at the corner of the street A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.	10
And then the lighting of the lamps.

NO PLAGIARISM! I WILL REPORT IT!
