Guided Looking

Look at the painting with a partner.  Talk about the painting together.
  • What do you each like about it?
  • How does it make you feel?
  • What does it make you think of?
  • Why do you think this painting is in the keep trying unit?
Now consider Color, contrast, and balance:
What is the brightest color here?
What is the darkest clor here?
How is a shadow shown on the white pants?
How did the artist fill the space?
