9/4/12 "The Pinch of Poverty" Journal

S- The piece looks like it has to deal with those in poverty. The colors that represent poverty are all dark and gloomy. But the flowers are all brightly colored, along with the blanket that is wrapped around the infant. These brighter colors may represent the idea that there are good things in the world that can stand out.
N- The narrator/artist may recognize the darkness of poverty, but he may also be able to recognize that there are some good things in life, such as flowers and children.
A- This piece may be meant for people who can relate to the hardships of poverty and understand the good things in life.
P- The artist might want us to think on a deeper level about how things are not always what they may seem. Yes, the family may have a hard life, but they might also have things that they are grateful for.
Artistic Techniques:
1. Uses dark colors to make the mood gloomy and sad
2. He uses the peoples' facial expressions to evoke sympathy.
