The Masterwork Analysis project involved choosing four famous historical designs and hand drawing a study , focusing on the fundamentals of design employed in the piece. I chose the Beethoven Poster by Josef Müller-Brockman, from 1955, Jacques-Louis David's Oath of the Horatii from 1784, Shepard Fairey's Fan the Flames from 2019, and Greg Hildebrandt's Star Wars Poster from 1977.
The four studies done for the Beethoven Poster were a notan, shape, rule of thirds and leading lines study.
For Greg Hildebrandt's Star Wars Poster, I did a notan, color temperature, rule of thirds, and shape study.
Fan the Flames saw a Notan, rule of thirds, color temperature, eye path and shape study.
The Oath of the Horatti was a perspective, eye path, Notan and a subject shape study.
