On the left is an old man sitting with his chin in his hand. On the right are drawings of water movement and a paragraph of handwritten text.

This is a design by Leonardo da Vinci called, Old Man Contemplating the Flow of Water. What do you see when you look at this image? Why do you think the artist designed the image the way he did?

Answer:

When I look at the image, I see that it is very obvious that the old man is thinking, or contemplating something. I also notice the detail on his clothing and even his face. The image seems calm and serene to me, which is what I believe the artist was going for. A piece that almost made you begin to contemplate water alongside the old man. Of course, this is all just my personal opinion. It's up to you for how this image makes you feel.

Answer:

Well I can't see it, but if it's by Da Vinci, he has his own style. you can describe what you see, and differentiate his style to others styles. For example: Da vinci's artwork has ____ brush strokes, and it stands out to me. I feel like this work looks different from other artists work; like Van Gogh; because of ____. Maybe that helps. personally I've never seen this artwork before but I'm sure this sentence stem can help you out. :)
