I dont think this is a good photo because its ballet. I dont think it would go really with our school. I thik this painting has harmony. I also think it has texture. With the dresses.

I see a ballet studio with dancers and an instructor and a spectator in this painting. I also see lots of light pastel colors. I also see a mirror in the center of the painting, and i like it because it shows what some of the dancers are doing in the background and aren't all in the actual area of the room which was being sketched. I think the element of art that this painting shows is value because of all of the shadows that you can see, but it also looks like the room is well lit (daylight). The principle of art that i think is shown in this painting is movement because you can tell that the instructor is waving his baton in either attention or showing the spectator how a beat of music goes. Also most of the dancers are in a more casual position, making you think that their moving around and talking.

I see a lot of light colors. There's many differnt textures. I don't think it would go with our school. Like many other paintings there's a lot going on.

I see a a ballet studio with many ballerinas dancing, or warming up. In the center of the room, there is a large mirror that shows the other dancers in the background. There are many light colors and there are two men watching the girls, probably the instructors. There is also a chair in the center of the room with things on it. I think this painting has either space or color. It shows movement, with all of the dancers dancing.
