While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• Texture analysis and historical analysis are two approaches to art criticism.
• Texture analysis examines how surfaces are visually represented in an artwork.
• Such an analysis of Giorgione’s Youth Holding an Arrow might consider how the painting’s blended colors make the subject’s skin appear smooth in texture.
• Historical analysis considers the historical context in which a work was created.
• Such an analysis of Diego Velázquez’s Las Meninas might consider how the painting’s depiction of the artist with King Philip IV symbolizes art’s historical ties to power.
