Formal Comparison/Contrast: Subject, Form, Content
Choose two artworks, by different artists, that share the same general medium and subject (i.e. two landscape paintings, two figurative sculptures, etc.). This means non-representational art may not be used, as they don’t possess identifiable subject matter.
Compare and contrast them. Outline and describe their similarities and differences in subject and content, due to the artists’ formal decision-making.
Remember, form includes visual elements, design principles, materials and techniques (an example of this is the comparison of Rodin’s and Brancusi’s “The Kiss” sculptures in the textbook).
