-description of the “formal” aspects of an object of art. When looking at an object of art, consider the following:
Material
The function of the object or use
Provenance (location it is from)
The object’s date (if available)
Size
Colors
Decorative motifs
Calligraphy (style of the script)
Details of the object: is it an architectural piece (floor mosaic, wooden beam, or a
column, or maybe a form of soft architecture (tent, wall covering, tomb cover)?
Does it depict geometric motifs or vegetal or floral or calligraphic motifs?
If it is a calligraphic folio: Is it on parchment or paper? How many lines of text
are on the folio? Is there vocalizations or diacritics?
If it is a painting: observe if it is a realistic or naturalistic depiction of the subject?
Is there linear perspective? Is it an accurate depiction of a space?
Observe if there are figures: are they positioned in a frontal or profile view, If
there is a ruler is he/she flanked by other people, and observe the clothes of the people/ robes
Once the objects have been described then create an analysis about them. Compare and contrast the two objects- each pair of objects follows a particular theme. What is the theme that links the objects in a particular pair? And how are they related? How are they not related and are different? These are a few questions you should consider when writing your paper.
