Do you need a crash course on how to discuss art? Formal Analysis is a four and a half minute YouTube video teaching how to compare and contrast two different works of art. The discussion also includes information about identifying key visual elements in the artwork. Be sure to open the information box about the video to find a link to lesson plans and teaching materials provided by the Getty Museum. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.
