Art homework

This is what happens when you are trying to write a description of "The Bride of the Wind" for your art history class while working with a three year old:

Writing about art, what do you see?

I see a limited color palette looking at me.

Color palette, color palette what do you see?

I see a strong use of line looking at me.

Lines, lines, what do you see?

I see two figures in the foreground looking at me.

Figures, figures, what do you see?

I see the wind swooshing past me.

Wind, wind, what do you see?

I see two sad faces waiting for me.

Sad faces, sad faces what do you see?

I see Katie looking at me!

Oskar Kokoschka, The Bride of the Wind, 1914.
