“Picasso painting “Bullfight Scene “ 1901 was painted in what we called The Rose Period. He used many warm colors like red and yellow to show happy thoughts not dark blue colors which he used in The Blue Period to show poverty and sadness in the painting The Tragedy. ( pg 95 “Living with Art“) He uses open palette which many colors are permitted. ( pg 98“Living with Art“). Picasso painted this picture on a oil palette that would set out the colors around the edges. ( pg 95 “Living with Art“) The artist uses linear perspective because the painting appear to have images sitting in the stadium which make our eyes see dots representing figures in mass which occupies space. ( pg 87and pg 108 “Living with Art“). The painting has Kinetic Art because the artist show motion in the painting whereas The Tragedy painting did not. The figure were standing in one spot in the painting. (pg 118“Living with Art” ) The painting appear to have negative shapes begin images which are in the back ground cool and primary colors. ( pg 95 “ Living with Art“) In comparing and contrasting the two works they are not similar in anyway because both were painted according to how Picasso felted at the time.

Dear Matt,
This essay would be greatly helped if it had some organization.
A thesis sentence
A supporting body
A conclusion
It also needs to stick to the topic Design Elements.
line, color, texture, value, space motion/time....
The title, name of artist, medium and date need to be identified in each essay.
Avoid using subjective statements like
" He used many warm colors like red and yellow to show happy thoughts not dark blue colors which he used in The Blue Period to show poverty and sadness in the painting The Tragedy."
If you look closely there is nothing happy about either painting. Notice the dead horses piled up in the bottom left corner of the "Bullfight".
Listing the page numbers is good, but the essay does not define the terms used.
For example, the perspective Picasso uses in Bullfight is atmospheric.
Watch grammar
"The artist uses linear perspective because the painting appear to have images sitting in the stadium which make our eyes see dots representing figures in mass which occupies space. "
Should read "... the painting appear(s) ...."
" In comparing and contrasting the two works they are not similar in anyway because both were painted according to how Picasso felted at the time."
This is not supportable unless you talked to Picasso and he told you this. Avoid subjective statements like this.
