Iconographic Analysis Group Worksheet
PART A: An artwork that is both socially and culturally aware will have been chosen for you and your group by your instructor. You will analyze the artwork via the Elements and Principles. The goal of the assignment is not to describe, but to break the artwork down according to these Elements and Principles. Be very detailed in your discussions, so much so that your instructor should be able to visualize the artwork without having to see the artwork. 75 word minimum each response.

PART B: For this section, you will want to provide an interpretation of the artwork chosen for you and your group. Consider what you have learned about the process of interpreting art. You can (and should) use the most appropriate Elements and Principles to help in your interpretation. You should also look to symbols and symbolism included in the artwork. THIS IS NOT A RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT. As a group, you should arrive at your own interpretation. Do not search the web for an interpretation. 250 word minimum.
PART C: For this final section, individually, you will evaluate your groupmates by evaluating their work and contributions made to the project.
