How Do Artists Convey Style?

Look at the painting on p. 445 of your textbook and answer the questions 1-5 on p. 444 and 1-4 on p. 445 (some are duplicates -- you don't have to answer twice). In your own words describe the style the artist used in creating this picture.

1.  What is the painting about? Is there action, or is it a still scene?     The painting is about a room. It is a still scene, showing furniture, which include a bed with a squared blue blanket, two tables, one big one small, two chairs, a transparent vase, two colorful plates, with a one under the vase, a cup with many patterns, and a very colorful design on the floor.
2. Consider the manner in which the painting's subject is presented. Is the subject depicted in a realistic or non realistic way?     The subject depicted in the painting is quite realistic (or at least, in my opinion).
3. Identify the artist's technique. How does the artist use color, texture, and shapes to show the subject matter?     The artist uses clear contrasting colors to show us a special feeling. The artist also uses a lot of colorful and decorative colors to describe an object. Shadows are also used to show a feeling of dark and light.
4. What mood is create by the artist's use of light and shadow?     The light and shadow effect somehow creates a warm, house-like feeling. It makes the picture look like it's showing one of those no-room apartments where everything can be seen if you stand in the center of the apartment. 
5. What adjectives would you choose to describe the style of this still-life painting?     The adjectives that I would use to describe the style of this still-life painting would be "warm", "relaxing", and "plain/simple yet colorful". 
6. How is the painting different from other paintings of similar subjects?     This painting is more of a "shadier" painting (as I would describe it). I would say that it's a room in the afternoon, illuminated by the afternoon sun that is just setting. I would think that other paintings would be livelier.
