Painting style is used in two senses: It can refer to the distinctive visual elements, techniques and methods that typify an individual artist's work. It can also refer to the movement or school that an artist is associated with. This can stem from an actual group that the artist was consciously involved with or it can be a category in which art historians have placed the painter. Let us now study and analyze one of Pablo Picassos famous paintings. This painting series is regarded as a thematic continuation of the tragedy depicted in Picassos epic painting Guernica. By focusing on the image of a woman crying, the artist was no longer painting the effects of the Spanish Civil War directly, but rather referring to a singular universal image of suffering. 47.What image is seen in the painting? a.happy woman b. powerful woman. c.Sad woman d. weeping woman B. Directions: Read the short story. Pay close attention to the characters. Respond to the questions that follow.

- 8. biggest girl in the grade and also the meanest, and Maria was one of the smallest. Sliding the tray toward Jawanna, Maria replied, "Sure, Jawanna. I wasn't going to eat it anyway." After Jawanna left, Maria's friend Jessica turned toward her, "Why didn't you tell her to go somewhere?" Maria sighed, felt sick to her stomach, and replied, "Yeah right, and get pounded? No thanks." Jessica put her arm around her friend's shoulder, "Look, Maria, if you don't stick up for yourself, Jawanna is going to be eating off of you for a long time." Maria considered Jessica's advice for a moment and then responded, "Well, brownies are fattening anyway. Maybe if I give her enough dessert, she'll clog her arteries and have a heart attack." The girls chuckled at this but Maria still felt sick to her stomach. The next day at school, Jawanna was walking to the pencil sharpener when she noticed that Maria was using a mechanical pencil. "Hey Maria, let me hold that pencil." Maria looked down at her mechanical pencil. It had kitties and stars on it and she liked it very much. She replied, "I can't, Jawanna. It's my last one." Jawanna put one hand on her hip, sneered at Maria, and said, "Well, you've gotten to use it quite a bit. I haven't gotten to use it at all. Can't you see that's unfair?" Maria gulped, "Um, yeah, I guess I can see that. Here, you can use it for now, but maybe I can get it back at the end of the day," replied Maria as she handed Jawanna her pencil. Jawanna used the mechanical pencil with the kitties and the stars on it until the end of the day while Maria used a cheap wooden pencil. When the bell rang, Jawanna brought over Maria's pencil in several pieces and dropped it on her desk. "Here's your pencil. It's not working," Jawanna said, holding back her giggles as she left. 48.
