Gestalt The Old Guitarist:
Project instructions:
Choose a famous work of art. Look closely at the image and identify several of the individual elements within the image. Imagine the removal of one of these elements.
How would the meaning of the image change? Remove a second. With two elements missing, how does the meaning change again?
The Image is from Pablo Picasso’s The Old Guitarist
In a brief 2-3 page analysis, identify the image you chose. Describe the meaning of the image as a whole. Then describe the meaning of the image as the first element
is removed and again after the second is removed. What does this exercise show you in terms of how imagery can be used in media?
