What was shown in that art?

Jorge: We saw some great paintings in the museum yesterday. Anna: I agree. A lot of the paintings were fantastic. I liked the one by Marc Chagall. Jorge: Do you mean the painting with the people and the horses and the fish flying in the sky? Anna: Yes! I think that one is really interesting. The artist used beautiful colors in the painting. Simon: I think so, too. The colors in the painting are amazingly bright. The painting is sort of strange, though. Anna: Why do you think the painting is strange? Simon: Well, you don’t usually see people, horses, and fish flying in the air. Jorge: That’s a good point. I think that’s what makes the painting so special, though. Marc Chagall must have had a great imagination.

Anna: Right. Either he had a very creative mind, or people, horses, and fish behaved very differently when he was alive! Why do you think Jorge and Anna ask questions? When you talk in a group, why is it important to ask questions or give examples?
