Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences. Name this piece and its artist. What technique was used to create this piece? What comes to your mind when you look at this piece? How does it make you feel? Do you like this piece? Why/why not?

Answer:

This piece is called “El Drac,” or the Park Güell salamander, and it was designed by Antoni Gaudí. It was made using the trencadís technique, which covers the sculpture with irregular pieces of broken tile and glass. The bright colors and flowing patterns make me think of a playful creature from a fantasy world, and they make me feel cheerful. I like this piece because its imaginative shape and colorful mosaic surface make it visually striking.
