In our conversation at the museum we did a lot of analysis on the physical attributes on the painting. We talked about how the light and dark parts of the paintings drew attention to some areas more than others. We also had many questions of why some things were included in the paintings. Things such as the sword George Washington was holding. We didn’t do much of the analysis where you talk about historical context or the motives of the artist. If had more time we would have liked to have discussed more about the background behind the painting as opposed to the actual painting its self.
