Answer Key

#	Answer
1	Rain, for example, can make an artwork feel quiet, reflective, or melancholy by softening color and reducing visibility.
2	Wind can suggest movement through diagonal lines, bent trees, or flowing fabric. Fog can reduce detail and contrast, creating depth and a mysterious atmosphere.
3	An artist might use cool blues, grays, and muted greens for stormy or cloudy weather, while warm yellows, oranges, and bright highlights can suggest clear, sunny weather.
4	Weather can symbolize emotions, change, or conflict. For example, a storm may represent tension, uncertainty, or a major turning point in a character’s life or in the artist’s message.
5	I would use a dramatic composition with strong contrasts, perhaps showing damaged natural landscapes or overwhelmed city spaces. I would choose harsh, limited colors like dark grays, reds, and dull blues to create urgency, and include repeated weather imagery such as flooding, smoke, or cracked ground to reinforce the theme.
