1. First reactions. (1. What can you see in it? What is the subject of the painting? 2. What is the first word that comes to mind when you look at it? 3. Does it remind you of anything? )
2. Looking more closely. (1. How big is the work? What effect does that have? 2. Does the work have a title? Does this affect the way you see it? 3. Could the work have some symbolic meaning?)
