In this evaluation, we are thinking about the context of the artwork. This includes where you see it, when it was made, who it was made by and for what purpose, and the way the medium has been used. We also think about the subject matter (the things portrayed in the work), if any, and how it has been portrayed. Why depict this, at this time, in this particular way? Why not something else?
