Answer 1

look at the work and respond to the work. Are the colors bold are they spring colors? Is there a focal point? Is there texture or a pattern? Get you art history book and flip through the titles to find what you were suppose to have learned in class and apply those terms to what you see in the painting. What is the context of the painting? Does it have a political message? Do you empathize with the work? why? It's real easy! Spend an hour with the work with a pen and paper and take notes. I think most websites will take a different perspective on the piece using lexicon that if imitated will let your teacher know you are full of it. There are no wrong answers in analyzing art because everyones experience is different.
