During the conversation, we talked about the content of the painting as well as how the artist structured the painting. This led into what themes and messages the painting could hold when it comes to slavery and the circle of life.
We did not discuss the historical context of the painting. For example, when the painting was made and what was going on in the country during that time. Also, the group did not look deeper into the formal properties of the painting like brushstrokes, the color choices and the tonal value.
If given more time, we would like to discuss the historical context of the painting and how that could affect the meaning and our interpretation. We also could’ve discussed the author’s feelings towards the topic at hand.
