- The museum/gallery as an environment roughly how many rooms and artworks, how the artworks were presented/displayed, a discussion of any explanatory materials provided (exhibition wall text)
- A descriptive visual analysis of your selected two artworks
- Discuss what the two artworks have in common and how they differ (consider size, scale, perspective, color, shapes and forms, subject matter)
- A critical assessment of the aesthetic and cultural message being conveyed by the museum gallery space and your two selected artworks explain what you thought or felt about the exhibition, how the other visitors engage with the art.
- Did you approve of the display and collection of artworks? Your appraisal of the event can be condemnatory and/or appreciative as long as you explain yourself.
