Lines: Waved, straight on the background, thick (lady’s back) and thin (hair)
Shape: geometric – background and round shapes on lady’s body, organic- other shapes.
Light- lady on the left is painting in light colors, her face is white, so we know that the light is reflected on her, her reflection in the mirror is darker, what’s mean that is less light.
Color- Picasso used all colors from color wheel- from light yellow, yellow, orange, yellow- green, green, green-blue, blue, blue-purple, and purple. He mixed the color especially that they are next to each other in color wheel- cool colors with cool, and worm with worm.
Texture- we can talk about visual texture, since we can’t touch it. I think the texture is rough, with a lot of edges (background, shape of a women), but in the mirror the texture will be smooth. The painting is made from oil on canvas,
Pattern- on the background- repeated motif, square with dot inside.
Balance- symmetrical, the left side is same as right, even though on the right side are darker colors, which is heavier, but we still feel that the art work is balanced.
Rhythm- shapes on the background has a rhythm.

Interpretation: In my opinion the painting “ Girl Before a Mirror” 1932 by Picasso shows a girl which see herself in a mirror different that she really is. She sees herself in dark colors, maybe she thinks about herself worse? Or maybe she has some problems in this time? In the mirror we can see a orange shape- I think that this is a tear, and her eyes in the reflection are really sad. But she touch the mirror and her reflection like wanted to say that everything will be Ok.
Judge: I found this painting in the internet. It caught my attention very fast. I think because of different colors, and clarity of the painting. We exactly see that this is girl and she is looking at the mirror, we don’t have to think what the artist wanted to show us.
