Daily Visual Journal 2.2.12

The first five minutes of every class is dedicated to a written reflection in our Visual Journals (Sketchbooks). Please remember to answer, in complete sentences, the following questions:

1. What do you think the artist is trying to convey in this piece? What is the message, feeling, call to action, or idea that you think about when you observe this artwork?
2. What clues did the artist use (thinking about our visual language: elements of art and principles of design) to convey the message, feelings or ideas? Remember to be specific in telling me where you see the clues!
