Just as a good cook assembles the perfect ingredients for a delicious recipe, an artist assembles the right elements for a successful artwork. Contemplate any artwork from the textbook and make a recipe of the composition. For example, Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels (1973–1976) contains positive and negative shape, light, value contrast, and warm color scheme. In a 300-500 word essay, you must describe your chosen work in detail and discuss how the visual elements are synthesized and utilized.

Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11") with 1" margins on all sides. You should use a clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt. Times New Roman font. Citations should be in APA format.

Pay close attention to the rubric below for criteria on which you will be graded.
