April 11th Draft Workshop
1. Has the author concentrated his or her analysis on just one formal aspect of the piece? What is this aspect? Why has the author chosen this aspect of the piece rather than any other? Would any other have worked just as well?
2. What is the author's thesis statement? If there isn't one, then what kind of argument is the author trying to make about the piece? If there isn't a thesis or an argument, then do you see an argument the author is making implicitly?
3. Has the author completed the assignments requirement of "exploring in detail how this aspect of the piece contributes to its overall message or aesthetic?" What is the piece's overall message or aesthetic as you believe the author understands it? Could the author's idea be pushed any further to be more specific, detailed or original?
4. Cite at least one place in the paper where you would like to see more explanation or detail. Explain why you chose the passage you chose.

1. Yes, he has concentrated his analysis on color and it's importance in Suh's message about the diverse human race. I haven't seen this piece of artwork but judging from his interpretation, no other aspect would've had the same effect.
2. "Whether black, white, yellow, or red every individual holds an equally important place in our world; diversity is reflected in the Korean, Do-Ho Suh’s, piece simply titled “Floor.”" I believe this is his thesis statement because it suggests that he will be writing about the importance of each individual human race through their distinct color.
3. Yes he has completed the assignment and has summed up the artist's message as being that without any one race our world would eventually fall apart and that we must work together to achieve success and everlasting peace and unity.
4. "However, after spending a few minutes studying the piece I came across one yellow figure standing out against the rest, suggesting an underlying theme to Suh’s work." This is the only place I would add a little bit more- when you first looked at the artwork and didn't notice the one yellow figurine, what did you believe Suh's message to be? That might help with your paper and allow you to contrast that theme with the one you decided was his true underlying message.
