Art Assignment

Three of the most important terms to understand in the study of visual images are representational, abstract, and non-objective. Write out a definition of each word, as you understand it, and give TWO examples that represent each term. Choose your examples from the list below, and give the title and artist (not the illustration number). You do not have to include the images themselves when you submit your 400-500 word essay.     DUE TIME : 2/15 before 3pm

Please organize your essay in the following way: Three paragraphs, one for each term. After you have written the definition in your own wards, choose two paintings (from the list below) that you believe exemplify the term, giving a brief explanation of why your choices are appropriate.
