If Jarama II could move, would the work of art move quickly or slowly? What is it that makes you think so? Is there something about the colors and shapes that might help you answer?
Think about how repeating certain shapes and patterns can suggest movement. Put yourself in the artist's place. How would you paint the idea of SPEED, when in real life the work of art doesn't move at all?
