Select a work of art from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/the-collection. Please do not select one that has already been chosen by a classmate.
Include an image of the work of art that you select in your post. Also include the artist’s name (if known), date, and medium. Feel free to include a link to the page of the specific work.
In the first paragraph of your post, identify the artwork’s form (what material did the artist use, describe how the artwork was made, and identify if the artwork is considered representational or abstract?) What is the subject of the painting?
In the second paragraph of your post, discuss how the form and subject help us understand the content (meaning) of the artwork. What is your interpretation of the content of this piece?
Respond to your classmates’ posts in your two follow-up posts. Do you agree or disagree with their interpretations?
