Different areas present different similar pieces according to artist, period, style, whether or not they are painting, or sculpture.

Every piece was accompanied by a small, white, rectangular tag that was posted on wall to the right. It was printed in legible black ink and read vertically down the small side of the card as follows: Artist, Title & Year, medium, and where the piece was obtained from.

Step 4: Art Criticism Exercise



Delaunays geometric style was unique and of its own entity.

This is Barnaby Furnas piece, Untitled Flood.  He used urethane on linen and created the piece in 2007.  It is so large it immediately commands your interest.  The artists chooses red color, using a slight emphasis on the texture and large composition.


 Andy Warhol created this piece, 100 Campbell"s Soup Cans, using oil on canvas in 1962.
This is a large wall piece, and the soup can is emphasized by the repetition and rythym in the piece.
