The main goal of this assignment is to help you practice visual description, an important component of visual analysis. Your job is to describe not just what you see (i.e., the content or subject) but how, visually, the subject matter is depicted. Visual description requires that you convey the formal or visual properties of a work in words, and this can present some challenges. In a few weeks, you have a Visual Analysis Paper due, so your work here will help prepare you for that assignment.
Look carefully at your chosen work. For each of the elements below, write approximately 2-4 complete sentences. Spend some time observing and brainstorming before you write your responses. The questions are intended to help you identify and describe the major visual elements in the piece. You should aim for clarity, precision, and specificity in your descriptions.
Subject Matter
What does the image portray? ,What is the nature of the setting and the figures’ identities if discernible?, Are there significant poses or gestures that indicate the subject or action?, Does the scene allude to a larger narrative?, Is there a sense of imminent or unfolding action? ,Or does the scene appear to be removed from the flow of time?, Is there background scenery and if so how is it represented?
Scale
What is the size of the work? Does the size convey or suggest anything about the status of the subject matter or impact its interpretation? What is the scale in relation to the viewer? Is the viewer dominated by it, or can one hold or handle the object?
Medium & Materials
What is the medium of the work? Are there multiple media or materials used? Are the materials costly or inexpensive and everyday? Does the artist’s handling of the materials bring out any special properties or characteristics of the medium or materials?
Composition
How are the different elements of the subject arranged on the pictorial surface? How do they visually relate to each other? For instance, are there repeated shapes, lines or patterns? Is there a dominant vertical, horizontal or diagonal structure that organizes the image? All these things are part of “composition.”
Space
Does the artist create a structured “stage” for the scene or is space more vague? Does the artist create the illusion that the space is a continuation of our own? Is space portrayed as shallow, deep, or flat? Is it densely packed with solid forms or is it open or empty?
Line
Are there strong linear elements in the work—created, for example, by certain motifs, gestures, etc.? Do horizontal or vertical lines predominate? Are lines curved or angular, sharply contoured or blurry and indistinct? Do they create key connections and/or divisions in the composition?
Color & Light
What is the role(s) of color? Has the artist used a limited or wide range of colors? Do the colors unify or create contrasts between different elements of the work? Is there a consistent, identifiable light source in the image? Does it illuminate and clarify and/or obscure elements of the work? Does light suggest volume (through illusionistic shading)? Is the scene evenly illuminated?
Visual Emphasis
What elements or motifs get special emphasis in the work? How is this visual emphasis created?
Viewer’s Relationship to the Work
What is the spectator’s relationship to the scene? What point of view does the image assign to the viewer—do we look up, down, or directly at the scene? Do we encounter it from nearby or far away? Does the scene appear to take place on another level of reality or is it continuous with our space? Do elements of the work invite the viewer into the scene? Or do they keep the spectator at a distance? Does the size of the work impact how spectators would view the work?
Conclusions & Assessments
Here, you will practice using your descriptive observations to start building an analysis. Using your responses above, suggest three ways that the work’s visual qualities create certain meanings or effect(s) or encourage particular interpretations of the subject matter.

Criminal Law Scenario Discussion
Select two of the scenarios listed below and explain the best solution for each. Include comments related to any ethical issues that arise. Support your responses with appropriate cases, laws and other relevant examples by using at least one scholarly source from the SUO Library in addition to your textbook for each scenario.
Scenario I – Business Organizations
Yolanda, Ginny, and Sara met while working for the Campus Subs in Knoxville, Tennessee. Yolanda was attending college to earn a business degree in hospitality. Ginny was attending culinary school to become a chef, and Sara was a recent graduate in sales and marketing. The three ladies decided to open their own soup and sandwich restaurant on wheels, also known as a food truck. They planned to start small with one truck but had big dreams to own a whole fleet of trucks that served a variety of foods.
Yolanda took a business law class and remembered there are several forms for organizing businesses. The ladies have come to you for advice about the various forms of business organizations.
Evaluate three forms of business organizations including advantages and disadvantages related to the business the ladies plan to operate. At least one of the options must be the LLC or LLP.
Select a business form for the friends and defend your choice.
Explain the requirements for starting that form of business in your state.
Scenario 2—LLC Liability
Criminal Law Scenario Discussion
Plaintiffs Karl and Ginny Drake were injured by lead paint while living in a house owned by Riverwood Homes, LLC. The plaintiffs sued Bill Ding, a member of the LLC at the time it owned the property, alleging that he was liable for their injuries. Ding had limited involvement with the property. He has never visited the property, and neither he nor the LLC was aware that the plaintiffs were occupying the property until after the LLC acquired it. Once they realized this fact, they took legal action to have the plaintiffs removed. The applicable housing code imposes liability on any individual who “owns, holds, or controls” the title to the property.
Is Ding liable for the plaintiffs’ injuries?
What are the policy arguments in favor of both parties?
Scenario 3—Securities
In 2010, after working at Regions Bank for 6 years, Noah Lott helped found Nova Capital Corporation, a venture capital firm that invested in the technology sectors. NCC went public in 2012, and Lott served as its CEO and chairman of the board. Various documents filed with the SEC stated that Lott “earned his MBA in finance from Harvard University and an undergraduate degree in management.” In fact, he attended Harvard for only year and did not graduate. After being pressured by a journalist, Lott disclosed the misrepresentation to the NCC board. The same day, the company issued a press release correcting the statement.
The press responded negatively to “another CEO that lied about his resume” and speculated about “what else might not be right.” On the day the press release was issued, NCC’s stock price dropped from $33.58 per share to $26.40, but it fully recovered within six weeks.
Shareholders sued, alleging that the misrepresentation violated section 11 of the 1933 Act, section 10(b) of the 1934 Act, and Rule 10b-5.
Was Lott’s lie about having a college degree material?
Would your answer be the same if a CEO lied about having helped to take a company through an initial public offering and subsequent acquisition by another company and having led a pharmaceutical company from incorporation through human clinical trials and launch of a new drug?
If you were a member of the NCC board, would you be comfortable keeping Lott as CEO once you learned that he had lied about having a college degree?
Scenario 4 – Bankruptcy and Secured Transactions
Criminal Law Scenario Discussion
Coastal Property Restoration (CPR) periodically purchased used restaurant equipment from Slice Pizza Company. CPR refurbishes and sells restaurant equipment to small restaurants. In December 2015, CPR purchased five used pizza ovens for $25,000. Because of the good relationship between the companies, Slice financed the ovens for two years; however, Slice did not obtain a perfected security interest in the ovens. In July 2016, CPR sold four of the ovens to another refurbishing company for $2,000 two days before filing bankruptcy. CPR still owes approximately $20,000 to Slyke for the ovens.
Evaluate the legal and ethical issues associated with CPR’s sale of the pizza ovens before filing bankruptcy. What recourse does Slice have in recovering the monies still owed on the equipment or the remaining oven? Use APA referencing style.
