You will compare two works- Peter Paul Ruben's Christ's Descent from the Cross with Max Beckman's Christ's Descent from the Cross. You need to compare these two works in terms of composition and design- which means you need to complete a visual analysis of each work. Of these visual elements you need to discuss and compare at least two: lin (including line weight, line quality, implied lines, and actual lines), shape, value (including value contrast, value range, how value is created), color (including hue contrast, intensity contrast, color organization, color observation), and texture (visual texture not physical texture). Of these design concepts, you need to discuss and compare at least three: scale and proportion, the illusion of space, gesture and mark making, representation and idealization, visual pathways, figure/ground, page structure, visual weight, and symmetry/ asymmetry Of these design principles, you need to discuss and compare at least two: hierarchy and emphasis, balance, economy, rhythm and repetition, unity a variety, dynamics and movement, and tension/harmonics. You can discuss the subject/content/narrative but your discussion of the content needs to be related to the comparison of the two works and related to the analysis of the composition/design.
