white light by jackson pollock

Question description

This assignment
is a three page essay critique over a two dimensional work of art. As you have
learned in the first chapter, a critique often involves both a formal
evaluation of the work (based on its physical appearance) and a contextual
critique considering the artist’s style, intention, and historical time period.

the painting “White Light” by Jackson Pollock. You should carefully read the
chapter on two dimension art in your textbook first.

prepared according to standard college writing practices, using MLA
format. Fragmented sentences and spelling errors are not acceptable, so
please be sure to spell check your essay. Please make sure you write a minimum
of three pages. Your response should not be a list of answers, but rather a
reflective response to each question written in an essay. Devote at least a
paragraph to each question.
