    Alyssa Santiago: Discussion Post 1

    In this image, you can see three dogs, all with brown spots on them, drinking from a pot that has water inside. They seem to be on top of a table, hinting at the fact they are small and most likely puppies, and there are three blue goblets directly in front of them. Next to the goblets are circular items that seem to be holding the goblets down to the table, and in front of the goblets is a bowl full of fruit and fruits outside of the bowl. The tablecloth, which has a pattern of leaves and flowers randomly placed around, seems to be bunching up around the other…

    Isabella Yakutilov’s Discussion Post 1

    The art piece, Hope II by artist Gustav Klimt depicts a pregnant woman, likely in her third trimester of pregnancy, as she bends forward slightly towards her pregnancy belly.

The robes themselves are made up of a combination of intricate designs and…

    Paul Cézanne’s Turning Toad at Montgeroult appears to be a painting of a small village/multiple houses accompanied by a small bridge and grass below it. Cezanne gives these roofs a very smooth appearance. We can see the moon in a distant background in addition to a rectangular door on the far left’s house. The technique used is interesting to say the least; The houses are drawn incredibly smoothly and easy to distinguish, but everything else from the pathway/bridge to everything below is rather blurry. The houses appear to be rising and moving up alongside a hill, with two houses, the ones on the top left and far right, being colored…
