After doing the e-book reading, write a short analysis of the image below using the elements of art. Your analysis should be concise yet complete. Include the following elements, numbered 1-5 in this order: 1.line, 2.shape, 3.form, 4.space, 5.texture. Support your statements with examples. FOR EXAMPLE: Don't just write that the artwork contains lines-- tell me what kinds of lines and where you see them. Be thorough and explain how the artist is using the different elements. You should also take a look at this image which will help clarify how artists often imply space in two-dimensional art.

Respond to at least ONE of your classmates' posts explaining what you found particularly good, logical, or enlightening about their answer.
