Looking at Art -

  • What is the most obvious image in the work. To where is your eye drawn?
  • Look at the colors. Are they symbolic? Would the message be different if the colors were different? Explain.
  • Study the shading and shadowing. How do these elements impact the overall message?
  • Who is the artist? When was the work created? Is the artist's message about a specific event in the history of war? What was going on in the world when the work was created? Is the art universal - speaks to people of all times and in all places in all wars, or is it limited to the audience for whom it was created?
