ENGL 1102—Research Outline Due Monday 1/22 by 11:59pm Instructions: Respond to each prompt below. Note there are two (2) pages to the outline. Title of Work (Year), Name of Artist: Portrait of a collagist(1989), Benny Andrews Describe why you choose this piece of visual art. What’s interesting or surprising to you about it? What stands out? What makes you want to spend the semester working on this artist and artwork? This work of art immediately caught my eye when I saw a painter who looked like Bob Ross. This was interesting to me because Bob Ross is normally creating the artwork and not the main work in it. As I was looking closer at the picture, I noticed how generally messy Andrews made the room with rags and clothes everywhere even making the painter's appearance sloppy. But when you look at the painting, it draws all the attention away from the room and on the canvas due to its beauty. List a set of questions that you have about this piece of visual art. Include both broad, obvious questions that a viewer would ask looking at the piece (example: Is the circular shape in the center of the image a window or a picture frame?) as well as more specific, nuanced questions that emerge through longer viewing and might require research to answer (example: Why is Emma Amos interested in self-portraits? What is her relationship to identity and power as a Black women?). Use this as an opportunity to speculate about the main themes and ideas that you’ll explore in your project. 1. What is the man painting? 2. Why is there a box of what looks like rags? 3. Is he painting on the wall or a piece of paper? 4. Is the artist supposed to look vagrant? 5. Is that Bob Ross in the painting? Did Andrews intentionally make the painter look like him? 6. Is this a self-portrait of himself? What made him change his style of painting?

Begin to develop a description of this work of visual art. What do you see? Your notes here can be incomplete and fragmentary, but begin to list phrases, descriptions, comparisons, and associations, and ideas for organizing a description. Additionally, what ideas or themes are being conveyed by the artwork and/or its title?  There are several different objects in the frame of the painting such as rags, paint brushes, a pallet, paper, box  The painter seems raggedy, old, grey hair, bad posture, seems experienced,  The floor has a box with old rags in it, spilling out onto the floor  The painter does not have a canvas, and it looks like its on a thin sheet of paper or the wall  The color of the painting vs the color of the room and painter is different. The painting seems vibrant and full of light colors, while the room and painter seems to be more mild, earthly tones.  The box seems to be in the way a little making the artist stand in a uncomfortable postion  The artist is not even looking at his artwork maybe implying the artwork is less important than the man in the painting List at least three (3) sources you’ve located that you might include in your Artifact #1 Annotated Bibliography: https://www.jstor.org/stable/23009748?searchText=benny+andrews&searchUri= %2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dbenny %2Bandrews&ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_gsv2%2Fcontrol&refreqid=fastly- default%3Ae543cf52f79bb7cdb501108cda59b4ab https://www.jstor.org/stable/23009749?searchText=benny+andrews&searchUri= %2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dbenny %2Bandrews&ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_gsv2%2Fcontrol&refreqid=fastly- default%3A00b97e40cf32e82917ae7440efb8c5f3
