Answer 1

C. Painting a picture that incorporates many details from the poem

Answer 2

Answer: C. Painting a picture that incorporates many details from the poem.

In art, the medium is the method by which you deliver a message. In this case, the story about the romantic shepherd is conveyed through the medium of poetry. If we wanted to use a different medium, painting would be a good option. Painting a picture that incorporates many details from the poem, for example, would allow us to tell the same story in an innovative way. This has happened throughout history, as works of literature have often served as inspiration for painters.
