Build up a sense of time and place
After placing the art you are viewing on a timeline, the next step is to build up a sense of time and place that is specific to the artwork and artist.
- Did the artists have friends or contemporaries that may have influenced the style of the work?
- Did the artist have a teacher?
- Did the artist write about their work?
- What materials were available to the artist?
- Was the artist male or female?
- Might race or other specifics of the artists' identity play a role?
- Did the artwork get shown in public? What were the reactions of the first viewers?
