What are the steps to follow to be able to reflect on and derive the mood, idea, or message from selected artworks"? Explain each one briefly.

Answer and Explanation:

To reflect and derive the mood, the idea and the message of a work of art, it is necessary that we follow the steps below:

Describe: It is necessary to describe what is being shown in the artwork, that is, it is necessary to describe (and not quote) all the objects presented, the colors, the prevalence of shadow or light, the expression on the characters' faces (if any) ) and other things.

Analyze: analyze each element at once, trying to understand the reasons why that element was used, looking for the meaning among the colors, the combinations, the projections presented, among others.

Interpret: Explain each of these meanings. The explanation manages to show the meanings in a more profound way, leading the observer to understand, exactly what the artist wanted to convey with the work, or to understand in a subjunctive, more complex, yet efficient way.
