I see a portrait of a lady with leaves, a cat and a monkey in the background
Subjects of the artwork: a lady, a cat, a monkey
There are thorns in the portrait, symblising getting stuck, and there is a black hummingbird
leaves, cat, monkey, human
the leaves are at the most back , followed by the cat and monkey, then the human
human is the most important as compared to leaves and animals
she is very sad (because there is thorns, symbolising getting stuck)
There are thorns in the portrait, symblising getting stuck, and there is a black hummingbird, where hummingbird is usually used to represent love, but she probably doesnt have love
she wants to focus on herself, therefore she is more in front as compared to the animals and leaves
she wants to symbolise something
What is she trying to symbolise?
I wonder why she wants to do something like this
There are thorns around the ladyman's neck and the animals are all black
I cant see any hummingbirds although the title says there is a hummingbird
the human seems very mixed gender so maybe make it seem more single gender

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRINTMAKING (SILKSCREEN PRINTING) AND PAINTING? WHICH DO YOU PREFER AND WHY?
My Reflections:
HOW WOULD I LIKE TO IMPROVE MY WORK IF I WERE DO MY SILKSCREEN OR PAINTING AGAIN? PLS SPECIFY ONE TYPE.
