第二段
1 .Last class I passed out your assignment for your first paper and today I want to spend some time going over it.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Most people never take any art history until they get to college,
该句暂无译文！
3 .so many of you have probably never written an art history paper before.
该句暂无译文！
第三段
1 .I gave you a list of appropriate works of art for you to write about.
该句暂无译文！
2 .So your next step in this process needs to be to go look at the work you've selected as your topic and bring a pencil and a notepad with you.
该句暂无译文！
3 .Because I don't mean you should just drop by at the museum and glance at it, so you can say you've seen it in real life,
该句暂无译文！
4 .you need to go and sit in front of the work and really look at it carefully and slowly, and keep careful notes about what you see.
该句暂无译文！
5 .You'll need them for the kind of art history paper you are going to be writing.
该句暂无译文！
6 .It's what we call a formal analysis.
该句暂无译文！
第四段
1 .A formal analysis of a work of art, any kind of art,
该句暂无译文！
2 .is based on its formal qualities, which means qualities related to the form.
该句暂无译文！
3 .Things like color, texture, line, shapes, proportion and composition.
该句暂无译文！
第五段
1 .Now, probably the closest thing to a formal analysis you might have written is for an English class.
该句暂无译文！
2 .If, you've, say, written an analysis of a poem, you've used the same skills.
该句暂无译文！
3 .You've given an analysis of the poem by describing and analyzing its form and meter.
该句暂无译文！
4 .A formal analysis paper in art history is very similar.
该句暂无译文！
第六段
1 .Now, before you begin writing your formal analysis,
该句暂无译文！
2 .you'll want to start with a summary of the overall appearance of the work,
该句暂无译文！
3 .a brief description of what you see: either figures, people,
该句暂无译文！
4 .what are they doing, or is it a landscape,
该句暂无译文！
5 .or an abstract representation of something.
该句暂无译文！
6 .Tell what the subject is and what aspects are emphasized in the painting.
该句暂无译文！
7 .This will give your reader an overview of what the work looks like before you analyze it.
该句暂无译文！
第七段
1 .The next part of your paper, the actual formal analysis,
该句暂无译文！
2 .would be the longest and most important section of your paper,
该句暂无译文！
3 .where you describe and analyze individual design elements.
该句暂无译文！
4 .For this portion of the paper,
该句暂无译文！
5 .you are going to rely on the notes you took at the museum because you should be able to describe in detail the design elements the artist uses and how they are used.
该句暂无译文！
6 .For example, does the artist use harsh lines or soft lines?
该句暂无译文！
7 .Are the colors bright or muted? Focus on the design elements that you feel are most strongly represented in that particular work of art.
该句暂无译文！
8 .And if you don't know where to begin, take note of where your eye goes first.
该句暂无译文！
9 .Then describe things in the order in which your eye moves around the work.
该句暂无译文！
10 .This will help you understand how one part relates to another,
该句暂无译文！
11 .the interaction between the different parts of the work.
该句暂无译文！
12 .Ok? This kind of analysis should occur throughout the main portion of the paper.
该句暂无译文！
第八段
1 .In the last section of your paper,
该句暂无译文！
2 .and this goes beyond formal analysis,
该句暂无译文！
3 .you comment on the significance of what you've seen,
该句暂无译文！
4 .what details of the work convey meaning.
该句暂无译文！
5 .Some significant details will not be apparent to you right away.
该句暂无译文！
6 .But if you look long enough, you realize how important they are for your interpretation of the work.
该句暂无译文！
第九段
1 .Many years ago, I was writing a formal analysis of a painting of a little boy.
该句暂无译文！
2 .In the painting, a little boy was standing in his nursery and he was holding a toy bird in his hand.
该句暂无译文！
3 .And there were more toys around him in the background of the painting.
该句暂无译文！
4 .Because of the bird he was holding, I assumed at first that the painting was about the innocence of children.
该句暂无译文！
5 .But as I looked at the painting longer, I realized that the boy's eyes look sad even though there was no discernable expression on his face.
该句暂无译文！
6 .And then it dawned on me that even though he was surrounded by toys, he was all alone in his nursery.
该句暂无译文！
7 .The boy's eyes were a significant detail in the painting that I didn't notice at first.
