Remember: the subject of the work of art is what is actually depicted. The subject is the framework on which the themes are hung. The themes are the ideas the artist intends us to think about when looking at her/his works of art. The larger themes the artist might be working with or interrogating are those mentioned in Lesson 3 and the textbook chapters 21-27. However there are sub-categories found in each theme. For example, ‘Environment’ is a huge category/theme. The artist might be looking into climate change, or natural renewal, or air pollution, or our 21st century separation from nature, or our neglect of nature, or…. Try to whittle down the themes the artist is exploring. What is the conversation they want to have and how do they go about having that conversation with the viewer? Themes/ideas are conveyed by the work of art: in this assignment, rely on what the art experts say are the ideas the artist is working with – and then follow their trail.
