A Visual Arts & Crafting Project

Above is a painting by Murray Devlin entitled, Suddenly. Study the full view of the piece then complete the following short exercises.

Write down at least 8 descriptive words or phrases that come to mind as you look at the painting.

If you had to choose one overall emotion you feel the painting embodies, what would it be?

Before looking at the Bahá'í quote (referenced below), reflect on the reasons why Mr. Devlin chose the title "Suddenly" for this piece.

Choose one of the following words (Movement, Light, Color, Time, Space) or the overall emotion you chose above, and write how you feel the concept was handled in the piece.

Pretend for a moment that you created this painting, what quote would you choose to accompany it, and what would your choice of a title be?

I hope you liked this painting as much as I do. Send your written meditations to me at art4all@gmail.com and I will share them here on the site.
