  3. Describe and Name the VISUAL FACTS. Analyze the VISUAL FACTS: Using Form Descriptors: Line, Light, Shape, Color and Temperature, Size and Quantity, Space and Location, Surface and Texture. Further Observations: Similarity, Closeness, Contrast, Sequence, Direction, Rhythm, Symmetry, Balance, Completeness, and Closure. The Technical Process: based on the visual facts. 3. Interpret the Evidence: Create a critical hypothesis: Where is this happening? Who lives here? What did they do? Why did they do it? Are the represented events real or potentially real? Was this place seen remembered or invented? Where are we in relation to what we see? What happened before we arrived? What will happen afterward? If this was real how would our world be different? 4. Judge the Work: Use your interpretation to ground your judgment. Lesson One - An Introduction to Feldman
