Artwork: The Last Supper

1.) What is it all about? What is it for?

"The Last Supper" is all about final meal that Jesus had with his disciples before his crucifixion, where he
established the sacrament of the Eucharist, symbolizing his sacrifice for humanity's sins. And This is for the
event is significant in Christianity, representing Jesus' selflessness and love, and is a central aspect of Christian
worship through Communion. It is considered the culmination of Jesus' ministry and leads to his crucifixion,
death, and resurrection. Artistic depictions of the Last Supper capture the emotional and theological significance
of the event, such as Leonardo da Vinci's famous portrayal.

•Define arts based on your own experience

-In my own experience art is everything because for me all of you can see have art and all of everything you do have
always art in this.

•Criticize an artwork that made an impact to you.

-As an observer, I find "Nighthawks" a captivating and thought-provoking piece that speaks volumes about urban life
and human emotions. The use of light and negative space creates a powerful visual impact, and the composition is
masterfully executed. The painting is a testament to Hopper's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of
modern life in his works.
