One way to comprehend and critique artwork is to use formal analysis. Formal analysis can be described as a way to understand, on a deeper level, the artwork by viewing the artwork as being composed of different elements instead of being viewed as a whole. From this one goes on to analyze the different elements that make up the artwork: color, line, space and mass, and scale. When we look at the color we should focus on different aspects, such as the different hues that might be present and if there appears to be a pattern in the choice of color. This would also mean determining if the level of saturation. As mentioned in the reading, the idea of analyzing the lines goes beyond pictures and paintings; it can be applied 3D objects as well. Analyzing lines could mean determining if the lines are light or harsh in terms of 2D pieces, or understanding the different line contours for 3D objects. When comprehending the space element, it is important to recognize if it is portraying 3D space, even conceptually. Mass is then used to imagine the artwork as having physical measurements such as weight and volume. Lastly, scale refers to the actual size of the artwork and the size in the artwork. To further analyze and determine scale, one must determine its consistency and what the actual size of the artwork could mean.
