Describe: This piece shows cemeteries in different places. Also, instead of headstones, these people use rocks to mark where their dead was buried.  

Analyze: This artist showed space through many different ways. The trees, for example, are spread out throughout the photo. The one closet to the viewer is in half and big, whereas the one farthest away is fully showing and small. The artist for this piece also shows contrast. An example of this is through the color of the ground and the leaves on the trees. The ground is almost a warm color and the leaves are a nice cool color.  

Interpret: What I think the artist was trying to say was that even though we live in different nations or countries, we still want to mark where our dead has been buried. It is a sign of respect for the dead, and their descendants. 

Judge: In this piece the artist uses contrast and space, two things that work well together in Art. Altogether, I think this piece shows a view from a different perspective. It is unique, which is setting you can't find often anymore.
