Write an effective introduction with a strong thesis statement. It should identify the specific works you will be writing about, the artists who created them, and which ONE method of critical theory you will be employing for each one (use a different method for each artwork).
Describe the first work using the vocabulary relevant to the medium. Next, utilize one method of critical theory (Formal, Contextual, or Expressive) to evaluate your first work. This section of your essay should include at least two substantive paragraphs.
Describe the second work using the same approach as above, but choose a different method of critical theory to perform your evaluation.
Conclude by explaining why you felt your chosen approaches provided the best means of examining and understanding these works of art.
