Pick one of the perspectives listed below. Using the art resources listed below, select an artwork and interpret its meaning in the context of one of the six critical perspectives we studied in this unit. Try to uncover the meaning in the image you choose, then explain how your particular critical perspective supports your interpretation.
This assignment will take some focus and structure. Review the major ideas behind your critical perspective first; then you can begin the search for an image that you think fits the critical test. From there you can begin your explanations.
