Gustav Klimt 'The Kiss' (1907-1908) oil-on-canvas painting with added gold leaf, silver and platinum.
Opulently gilded and extravagantly patterned, The Kiss, Gustav Klimt’s fin-de-siècle portrayal of intimacy, is a mix of Symbolism and Vienna Jugendstil, the Austrian variant of Art Nouveau. Klimt depicts his subjects as mythical figures made modern by luxuriant surfaces of up-to-the moment graphic motifs. The work is a highpoint of the artist’s Golden Phase between 1899 and 1910 when he often used gold leaf—a technique inspired by a 1903 trip to the Basilica di San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy, where he saw the church’s famed Byzantine mosaics. https://www.timeout.com/newyork/art/top-famous-paintings-in-art-history-ranked

Formal Analysis
Formal Analysis
Task # 2
Task # 2
Now that you have put some thought into your idea, let's look closely at the style. In your formal analysis, answer 4 of the prompts below, one from each section. Clearly label which thinking strategy you are using to analyze your artwork. Use Bloom's Taxonomy to demonstrate your higher order thinking skills in your formal responses.
While developing the artwork, the artist will be concerned with composition, or formal structure.
Composition understands order of elements and their relations in one unity (lat. con = with, and ponere = together, meaning putting things together).
As the creative process unfolds, the artist hopes that its result will be organic unity – meaning that each part contributes to the overall content, or meaning.
The artist uses the media to implement the art elements: line, shape, form, space, value, texture, and color. These elements are the fundamental constituents of any artwork.
The elements are used to express the principles. Use the elements to describe the qualities of the principles.
For example, the (eye) Movement is created by the repeating subjective shapes and neutral tones of red color.
