question

Both of these pictures show a unicorn, a magical animal from European folklore. Select the picture that suggests that the unicorn is gentle.

A young woman is sitting calmly and looking off to the side. A small, fluffy, floppy-eared unicorn is curled up in her lap.

A large unicorn is standing on its hind legs. Its front hooves are up in the air, and its horn is stuck in a tree trunk. A man is hiding behind the tree trunk, looking at the unicorn with wide eyes.

key idea

There are many ways to illustrate a person, place, event, or story. Artists make choices about the colors, composition (the way something is arranged), and details they show in their images.

When you compare two pictures of the same thing, think about how the artists' choices highlight different ideas or feelings.

solution

The picture below suggests that the unicorn is gentle. You can tell because the unicorn is small and sitting peacefully on a woman's lap.

The other picture shows the unicorn with its horn stuck in a tree and its hooves in the air. This does not suggest that the unicorn is gentle.
