For example, does the artist use harsh lines or soft lines? Are the colors bright or muted?
舉個例子來說,這個畫家使用的是硬朗的線條還是柔和的線條?色彩是鮮亮的還是柔和的?
Focus on the design elements that you feel are most strongly represented in that particular work of art.
集中說明你們在那幅藝術(shù)作品中感覺最強烈的那些設(shè)計元素。
And if you don't know where to begin, take note of where your eye goes first.
如果你們不知道從哪下手的話,留意一下你們最先把目光投向的地方。
Then describe things in the order in which your eye moves around the work.

This will help you understand how one part relates to another, the interaction between the different parts of the work. OK?
這會幫助你們理解一個部分是如何與另一個部分相聯(lián)系的,幫助你們理解這個作品的不同部分之間的相互作用。懂了嗎?
This kind of analysis should occur throughout the main portion of the paper.
這種分析應(yīng)該貫穿論文的主要部分。
In the last section of your paper, and this goes beyond formal analysis, you comment on the significance of what you've seen, what details of the work convey meaning.
在論文的最后一部分就要超出形式分析了,你們要就你們看到的內(nèi)容的重要性以及作品中哪些細(xì)節(jié)傳達(dá)了意義發(fā)表自己的看法。
Some significant details will not be apparent to you right away, but if you look long enough, you realize how important they are for your interpretation of the work.
一些重要的細(xì)節(jié)不會立馬浮現(xiàn)在你們眼前,但是如果你們看的時間足夠長,就會意識到這些細(xì)節(jié)對你們對這個作品的解讀來說有多么重要。
Many years ago, I was writing a formal analysis of a painting of a little boy.
很多年前,我在寫一篇對畫著一個小男孩的畫作的形式分析。
In the painting, a little boy was standing in his nursery and he was holding a toy bird in his hand.
在那幅畫里,一個小男孩正站在他的兒童室里,手里拿著一個玩具鳥。
And there were more toys around him in the background of the painting.
在畫的背景里,他身邊還有更多的玩具。
Because of the bird he was holding, I assumed at first that the painting was about the innocence of children.
由于他手里拿著的這只鳥,我起初以為這幅畫是關(guān)于兒童的天真的。
But as I looked at the painting longer, I realized that the boy's eyes look sad even though there was no discernable expression on his face.
但是隨著我看這幅畫的時間越來越長,我意識到這個男孩的眼睛看起來很悲傷,雖然他的臉上沒有可辨認(rèn)的表情。
And then it dawned on me that even though he was surrounded by toys, he was all alone in his nursery.
然后我突然醒悟,即使他身邊滿是玩具,但他孤單一人在兒童室里。
The boy's eyes were a significant detail in the painting that I didn't notice at first.
這個男孩的眼睛是我起先沒有注意到的這幅畫里的一個至關(guān)重要的細(xì)節(jié)。
