In class on Wednesday, we watched The Power of Art- Mark Rothko. We left off at approximately 45:00 of this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aqZXjoUNNsLinks to an external site.
For this week’s assignment, I want you to reflect on the work of Rothko. What, in your own words, is his artistic goal? Which elements of art does Rothko use to achieve this goal? In your opinion, is the goal achieved?
I’d also like to hear what you thought of the video- did it help you to understand Rothko’s work?
This essay should be approximately 300 words.
