•Has the artist used symbols to represent ideas or feelings? •Has the artist represented his ideas in a direct or indirect manner?

The artist has represented his ideas in indirect form, by using symbols.

Yes, the artist has used symbols to represent his ideas. The bird and the river represent change, because the bird could fly at any moment, and the river constantly flows and changes.

•What ideas or feelings do you think the artist was trying to express?

I think the artist was trying to show longing, because the bird is looking around, possibly for something it wants.

•Principles of Design (balance, unity, variety, proportion/scale, emphasis)

The painting uses emphasis, balance, and proportion. The bird is emphasised- it is painted brighter than the rest of the scenery, and is the first thing you see when you look at the painting. The size of the bird, relative to the river and rocks, demonstrates proportion, and increases the feeling of emphasis. The bird is more or less placed in the centre, so the painting is balanced between the left and right side of it.

Describe how the artist has combined the elements Line, Color, Shape, Value, Texture, Space.

The artist has used lines to create the shapes of the rocks and the bird. The artist has shaded many different colours together to create textures, and the size of the rocks and the river show space and distance.
