ACT responses
Student example
1. I am able to identify the cause-effect relationship between my inspiration and its effect upon my artwork by analyzing the colors and brushstrokes in my piece. It is clear that my use of vibrant colors and visible brushstrokes draws from André Derain’s work. Furthermore, by utilizing color to express and make a statement, my piece emulates German Lemus’s portrait of Abraham Lincoln.
2. The author's point of view regarding André Derain is that he was a Fauvist focused on using color as a way to express himself and his ideas. In regards to German Lemus, the author's point of view is that Lemus is an urban contemporary artist that utilizes vibrant color to emphasize light and dark.
3. While researching, I've come to the conclusion that color is an important aspect of life that can convey a message or tell a story. Color can offer a new perspective and change the tone of a piece.
4. The central theme of my inspirational research was autonomous artistic expression.
5. While reading my research, I inferred that André Derain focused on portraying the world as he perceived it which resulted in his bold use of color. Furthermore, I inferred that German Lemus juxtaposed his medium and his subject in his portrait of Abraham Lincoln to comment on society.
