Look for:

The Medium:

All works of art have mediums. Mediums are the substance in which the work was created. Several mediums include watercolor, stone, class, ink, pencil, and pastel. Mediums make up a peice of artwork.

The Mood and Tone:

The impact the artwork has on people is very important. How the artist feels while making the piece of art, or how it is expressed makes the art unique.
