5. WRITING. WRITE YOUR ANSWERS IN A DIFFERENT COLOR OR HIGHLIGHT IT

THINK OF A WORK OF ART THAT YOU KNOW. IT CAN BE A FAMOUS PAINTING OR SCULPTURE, OR IT CAN BE ONE
THAT IS NOT FAMOUS, SUCH AS A PIECE OF ART IN YOUR CITY OR SCHOOL. IN A SHORT ESSAY, DESCRIBE THE PIECE
OF ART, SAY WHETHER OR NOT IT IS ART IN YOUR OPINION, AND EXPLAIN WHY.

The painting the last supper in my opinion is a work of art and also an invaluable painting that
shows the last supper of Jesus with his disciples, therefore it is an art that shows us the
coexistence of Jesus with the disciples, although in my opinion it was a painting made and based
on the words of the bible that is not for me a painting self-portrayed at the moment in life and it
is only a painting based on the scriptures and taken by the artist Leonardo da Vinci and
portrayed for the observation of people, And according to what I think if it is art despite not
having been self-portrayed in life, but I took the best of writing and made it something
invaluable and as observable to the eye of the people at that time
