When I look at this picture I see a little innocent girl walking to school, not doing any harm, just minding her own business, but still getting hated on. In the picture you can see four Marshall's surrounding her, there are mean and cruel words on the wall, and things getting thrown at her. I think on her way to school she realizes that she is not welcome.
In the back round there are faded words, and faded paint, there is a splattered tomato all over the wall and floor, but I think out of all of that hatred this is just scared people that don't know much about change.
I feel like the surrounding is very grey and dull and the only thing that is really vibrant and eye popping is the little girl, I think the artist did that to make sure people get the real idea, and who it really is about. On the little girl's face I can't really see any emotion, her face is dull, and unaware.
When I look at this painting the little girl makes me feel like she is strong, and proud, her chin is up and her back is straight, she is proud that she is going to school. She must be a little bit scared because of all of the men surrounding her, but I don't think that she is totally aware why.
I think that the artist intended the painting to show the horrible things going on in that time, but also the little tiny things that you could tell weren't that bad, like her little books, I think that's so adorable! I also love her dress, and I think that the artist meant for the color of her pretty dress to mean equality, that it's just a color, nothing important, especially to her.
I think that the artist painted this picture so wonderfully that it looks real! I admire the colors he used in the painting, and just looking at this picture even for one minute I can understand how hard it must have been back in those days.
