over it freely. What do you see? Take a few observations

* How does it contribute to the artwork overall? (How does
it help the artwork “work?”) Consider:
• How does it contribute to how the artwork feels?
• How does it contribute to the mood of the artwork?
• How does it contribute to how the artwork looks?
• How does it contribute to the story the artwork
tells?
• How does it contribute to the ideas in the artwork?
* Do this with at least two elements. They can be chosen
from any column.

What new ideas do you have about the artwork? What do
you see now that you didn’t see before?
