Modern visual arts

Choose either the modern visual arts (including the movies watched) or the poetry we have studied (including in class), and answer the following question: how do the different materials and structural components (e.g., in painting line and color or in poetry rhythm, word selection, sound, and meter) function to create certain effects that communicate powerfully with the viewer/listener? Do not generalize, but analyze certain key painters/poet carefully and discuss their style or methods in such a way as to communicate what these “effects” are, and how they are produced.
