東京理科大学 A英3 Spring mid-term writing assignment supporting post on art・前学期 「中間」作文美術比較対照の付記

Hello!

How are you? Here is a supporting post for those of you who are interested in writing a comparison-contrast with works of art.  

Task

Here are four (4) examples of works of art. Choose two (2) of them and write a comparison and contrast about them. Include these points: 

Dynamics of artistic composition (美学、美術の構成) - (for example, color, space, relationships of people and/or objects to each other)

Possible story or scenario that the work of art shows or gives ideas about (for example, mood, feelings of people, conditions of objects, or the place where the people and/or objects are)

Finally, choose the work of art you prefer (好む) and show what you believe to be a short story or scenario that comes to your mind when you see or think about this artwork.

Okay! Let's begin! 

Edgar Degas, Dancers

Kitagawa Utamaro, Three Beauties of the Present Day

Masanobu Okamura, Shibai Ukie

Edvard Munch, The Dance of Life

See you next time!
