Using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher insert the paintings on the left-hand side of your document (you can make the painting fit your page by using the tools provided in Word). On the right hand side, next to the paintings you inserted, type two mini compositions (five to seven full Spanish sentences for each composition) about each of the paintings you selected. Describe its subject, the composition, the use of colors, and anything else that you think is relevant to the understanding and enjoyment of this art work. Any deviations from these rules will result in a loss of points.
