what elements of art did Roet use to create this artwork.

1. lines 2. form 3. texture

what can you see?

well you can see two hands holding each other. they look like the same hands becuase they look really similar. they are wrinkly so they maight be old. there are a lot of hair on it so it could also be a man's hand rather than a lady's. the nails are long at the hand looks uncared and scruffy so it could be a potter's hand.

Roet has used pencil, conte and charcoal to create this artwork. She shaded the shadows and doesn't show the lines.


I think that Roet was trying to communicate frienship and sorrow at the same time. the hands trying to hold each other means friendship and trust in each other. the colours are dull and the hands isn't really holding each other and they miss, so this might mean the sorrow of not being able to hold each other and help each other out.

the measurements of the painting does not affect my opinion of the work and waht she is trying to communicate. i just say that her sorrow and emptiness is greater than what i had originally thought.

the elements of art helps express what this work is about because when you think of the elements of art, you get more depth into the artwork and you start to realise the little things that you could have missed while just looking at it.
