Discuss how and why the key elements and principles of art used by the artist create meaning.

You are required to select one work of art located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The work of art must be within the period covered in Art History II from the Late Gothic/Early Renaissance to the Twentieth Century. If you select a work of art outside this range, the paper will not be accepted. Due to the closure of the museum, you will do a virtual assignment.Go to: www.metmuseum.org. Search the Collection. Put in the name of an artist or period and click Search. Works of art will come up. Note: Any information taken from a source, must be cited.Part I: General Informationa.In many cases, this information can be found on a label or in a gallery guidebook. Indicate where you found the information. (In this case, you will not see the label, but the information should be there).b.Subject Matter (Who or What is Represented?)c.Artist (What person or group made it? Sometimes this is not known. If there is a name, refer to this person as the artist, not “author.”) d.Date (When was it made? Is it a copy of something older? Was it made before or after other similar works?)e.Provenance (Where was it made? For whom? Is it typical of the art of the geographical area?)f.Location (Where is the work now? Where was it originally located? Does the viewer look up at it, or down art it? If it is not in its original location, does the viewer see it as the artist intended? Can it be seen on all sides, or just on one?)Part II: Brief DescriptionIn a few sentences describe the work. What does it look like? What is shown? Is it an abstraction of something? Tell what the subject is and what aspects are emphasized. Is it a non-objective work? Tell what elements are dominant. This section is not an analysis of the work yet. This section is primarily a few sentences to give the reader a sense of what the work of art looks like. Part III: Analysis of StyleThis is the key part of your paper. It should be the longest section of the paper. Be sure to think about whether the work of art selected is a two-dimensional or three-dimensional work.Art Elementsa.Line (straight, curved, angular, flowing, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, contour, thick, thin)b.Shape (what shapes are created and how)c.Light and Value (source, flat, strong, contrasting, even, values, emphasis, shadows)d.Color (primary, secondary, mixed, complimentary, warm, cool, decorative, values)e.Texture and Pattern (real, implied, repeating)f.Space (depth, overlapping, flat, use of perspective)g.Time and Motion (static, dynamic)Principles of Designa.Unity and Variety b.Balance (symmetry, asymmetry)c.Scale and Proportion (weight, how objects or figures relate to each other and the setting)d.Mass/Volume (three-dimensional)e.Rhythm (static or moving/flowing) Part IV: Interpretation and ConclusionsThis is the part of the paper where you go beyond description and offer a conclusion and your own informed opinion about the work of art. Any statements you make about the work should be based on the analysis under Principles of Design.a. Discuss how and why the key elements and principles of art used by the artist create meaning.b.Support your discussion of content with facts about the work.c.Describe your personal feelings about the work of art (likes, dislikes)General Suggestionsa. Pay attention to the date the paper is due.b.Allow time to view the work of art you select to write about and take good notes while at the museum.c.Always italicize or underline titles of works of art. If the title is long, you must use the full title the first time you mention it, but may shorten the title for subsequent listings.d.Use the present tense in describing works of art.e.Be specific: Do not refer to a “picture” or “artwork” if “drawing” or “painting” or “photograph” is more exact.f.IMPORTANT: Any information you use from another source, whether it be your textbook, a wall panel, a museum catalog, a dictionary of art, the internet, must be documented with a notation. Failure to do so is considered plagiarism.

How did the NYPD modify its practices after this happened?

The NYPD mission statement stands as a basic guiding principle on how Officers should move towards their goals of reduced crime, reduced fear and enhanced quality of life while uniformly falling in line with constitutional protections. Specifically, applying differing tactics and methods to communities based on race or class are prohibited. How then, did the Department find itself on the losing end of a class action discrimination lawsuit? How has the decision impacted daily policing practices? What policies have been mandated and how has the presence of a Federal monitor modified the ‘typical’ Department response to charges of unfair practices?This paper should begin by examining the history of consent decrees present in the Department and examine how NYPD tactics were modified as a result. There should be a review of the ‘Impact’ program and its heavy reliance on quality of life policing. This program had an outsized negative impact on communities of color and ultimately resulted in a Federal monitor being put into place. How did the NYPD modify its practices after this happened?
