Look at a work of art and find the elements of art and principles of design used by the artist: Kirchner

• Where does he use line? What types of line are used?

• What shapes do you see? Do you see circles, squares, rectangles etc.

• What colors are used?

• Why do some areas recede in space? What does he do to bring figures forward?

• What is the visual texture of the clothing?

• Is there shading? What is a light value and what is a dark value?
Find the similar elements that bring the work together and unify the piece?

• Do the proportions look accurate? Is the head in proportion to the body? Are the eyes

accurately sized compared to the entire face?

• What kind of balance does the artist use? Is it symmetrical or asymmetrical? How is the weight balanced?

• Where do you see an abrupt change-contrast- in color or value?

• Where do your eyes go in the work? What is emphasized?

• Do you anticipate movement?

• Is there a repeated element that creates rhythm?​
