"Nighthawks" is a painting by Edward Hopper. The painting is very simple in regaurd to detail. There are 4 people in a diner called Phillies. They are all sitting at a bar and one of the four people is a bartender that is serving the other 3 drinks. The bar is in a triangle form and there is a couple that is one of the four people in the diner that are sitting next to eachother. The restraunt is on a corner of a street that looks like downtown New York in the 1960's.
The mood for this painting is almost calm. It looks like it is 2 a.m and people came to the bar for drinks late at night. Inside the restraunt it is lite up however outside the restraunt it is dark and there is no one in sight. It looks very quiet and the restraunt is about to close up for the night.
Hannah- Good description of the painting. You also describe the mood well. But you didn't comment on what type of balance Hopper used. Add a paragraph to your post and talk about balance.
