Writing about Mood in Art

Question 2 • CA-Visual Arts A

Which sentence uses formal, subjective language?

Answer

I strongly disagree with the artist’s decision to use black-and-white photography to document the fire.

I think some of the photographs are kind of interesting, but most of them just don’t stand out.

The photographer decided to grab her vintage camera and took some black- and-white shots.

The photographer chose to document the fire and its aftermath using only black-and-white film.

Explanation

Subjective language expresses a personal opinion, while formal language avoids casual wording. Choice A states a clear opinion with “I strongly disagree” and uses formal phrasing. Choice B is also subjective, but “kind of” and “just don’t stand out” are informal. Choices C and D mainly describe actions rather than express an opinion.
