-=======Paintings=======
-Depending on the context, a painting may need a complex description. These can be especially complicated and overwhelming since art is so subjective, and if it requires a long description then the painting may be very detailed. Like all long descriptions, break it down into logical parts and start describing.
-The description of a Painting needs to reference the following elements:
-  * An overview of the artwork piece including style
-  * the title
-  * a brief description of the main components
-<note>Often this is enough, and can go into the Alt-text with no long description required. If the context calls for more then proceed with a long description.</note>
-The [[https://poet.diagramcenter.org/how.html|Poet Centre]] has a few tutorials on writing Alt-text for paintings that are very helpful.
-For a complex description it is important to consider the context for which you need the description. This may include:
-  * The painting style
-  * The color and composition
-  * The style and location of the figures/elements in the image
-  * Allegorical Meaning
-  * Historical Context
-For examples, go to [[public:nnels:etext:images:alt_text_examples#paintings|Alt-text Samples: Paintings]].
-<note tip>If you have any questions, post your question on the [[public:nnels:etext:images:alt-text_q_a|Alt-Text Q&A]]</note>
