Write at least 150 words responding to a piece of art illustrated in our textbook.
What is most important to you in this work of art?
State this point clearly in a topic sentence/thesis statement.
You should not research the art beyond the basic label:
Your response is the theme. Move beyond liking or disliking the art or thinking that it is beautiful or ugly.
What has the artist communicated to you?
For full credit comment on how you think current events of the day may have played a role in the content, making, or your appreciation of the piece (do not do research, just make your best estimate of the history of the time).
