How Do The Colors Help the
Composition?
The lighter colors on the person make the person stand out from the
background, which has darker colors.
The background consists of cool colors.
The face is mainly filled up by white and yellow.
The hair is a bit darker, so it’s green and yellow.
The shirt, which is even darker, is made up of red and yellow.
The black shadow of the woman is the darkest part of the painting.
This painting is cubism.
Types of Lines Used
The background pretty much only has straight lines.
The background of the painting is a cube.
The woman’s right shoulder is an oval.
The eyeballs are made up of semi-circles.
There are curved lines in the hair and for the
eyebrows.
There are straight lines for the stripes on the
woman’s shirt.
Emotion/Feelings Received
From the Painting
The woman looks like she’s upset.
There is a red spot on her right cheek. We think that
she might have been punched there. That’s what
caused her nose to move her left, instead of staying in
the middle.
However, that spot might show that she’s blushing.
The hat that she’s wearing looks like a beret, so we’re
guessing that she’s in France.
The red rectangle in the middle of her throat might
show that she has a sore throat.

How Colors Help the
Composition
The woman’s skin color is yellow and white. This
reminds us of the Simpsons Family.
Her hair is black with strands of white and gray. This
shows that she’s old. Maybe around 40-45.
Her red nails show that she likes beauty.
Her clothes don’t include light colors, but they look
quite well designed. This can mean that she isn’t poor.
Types of Lines Used
There are numerous curve lines in the woman’s hair.
Not that many straight lines were drawn in the painting.
The lines drawn in this painting are all blurry, and not
fine lines.
Emotion/Feelings Received
From the Painting
She looks rich. We think this because she has a
manicure, a well designed dress, and neat hair.
There is a slight smile on her mouth.
She looks bossy from her hand position.

I feel calm from the painting, because the colors are
not so light and not so dark.
She looks like she’s waiting for someone or looking at
someone.
It looks like she just got her makeup on.
