Add the name of artist to scale of analysis. My recent additions to my scale of analysis may seem obvious and rudimentary, however they exhibit a better understanding of a more classic look at art. These are aspects that I, most likely because of my lack of education about art history and culture, never thought of. My reading has also stressed the importance of the name of the artist. Not only because they deserve credit, but because the name of the artist puts the art work in context and will affect the analysis. If the artist was say Shepard Fairey, from what I’ve learned of him, I would know to look out for pop culture references.
