There is no rule for understanding a work of art. However, a knowledge of main fundamentals, technical possibilities and means of expression used by artists during the creation process of a work of art, results in more conscious reception.

At the end, we propose you a QUIZ. It will let you check if you have read the MEANS OF EXPRESSION section attentively and if you have learnt anything new. We hope you will get the maximum score at the first time. If you will not - don`t care, just read the section you have problems with one more time and try again. Remember that there is only one correct answer to each question.
