Step 1:
What do I see?
Les Menines (The Maids) Diego Velasquez
Describe - list what you see, when you think it takes place (time period), where (environment and location) & by whom (artist)
•Size, medium
•Subject, objects, details
•Elements of art used
This is the fun part. You get to discover with your eyes what the artist wanted you to know. The artist leaves common sense clues for you to learn the story they are telling. Ask yourself: What's this person like, where is this place, why is it special.
