Answer will vary but may include the following: The subject matter in this piece is the natural landscape of the tree, paths, and mountains. The content in this piece is created by the artist’s use of calm hues in the trees and sky, and the blending brushstrokes used among the trees, which seem to flow together with the ground and mountains.

The artist used a representational methodology, portraying recognizable people and objects with precise realism.

Answer will vary but may include the following: The image is of a side profile of a woman’s head, mounted on a cubed-base. She appears to be leaning, or perhaps falling. Although the woman is obviously plastic, the apathy and surrender in her face is supported by the statement, which written vertically down the left-hand side of the picture. The eye natural goes to the woman’s eye, and then tends to drift up towards the word and the top and then down the statement, which gives the piece balance along with the use of shades and shadows creating unity.
