  4. Examples of Evidence and Commentary • Topic Sentence: In “The Family, The Builders” Lawrence uses very few colors, emphasizing the simplicity of the scene.   • The men in the painting are wearing soft blues, but the women are wearing bolder reds and yellows.This shows that there is a difference in the roles of women and men in society.   • The background is filled with solid planks of wood in two earthy tones of brown, emphasizing the idea of creation.  The builders are creating something out of the earth.   • The sky and the ground are shades of stark, lifeless gray.  This makes the people and their activities stand out as busy and useful and full of life.   • Lawrence chose to make the central figure stand out by making him the only use of black.  The man is front and center, wearing a fine black suit,showing his importance in providing for his family.
