Interpreting art Is the painting balanced? What colors are used? What is the painting representing? Is the painting calm (harmonious) or is there
energy (dynamism) and tension? How do these affect the atmosphere (feel)? What is the tone (the way the painter feels about
the subject)? What does the piece of art say (what’s the
theme)?
