Bobo Masks

by: Heather Trazino, Jordan Williams, Caroline Zuba, Muhammad ?


Our analysis focused on the appearance, symbolism, and historical background of Bobo masks. We did not go into much detail on formal properties such as scale and composition because they were not as applicable to these pieces as some others. If we had more time, we would have liked to research the culture further and understand why the horns were added to the masks.

A Storm in the Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rosalie by Albert Bierstadt

During our conversation at the museum we used description, formal properties, subject matter, and historical context as we analyzed our chosen landscape painting of the Rocky Mountains by Albert Bierstadt. We left out interrogation and artist's intention because those are analyses viewers would consider after spending a long time thinking and looking at the painting. As our conversation was on the spot, we, like most viewers, analyzed the most obvious aspects of the paintings and talked about the more superficial points before thinking about the meaning behind the painting.
