Unsure where the art is, but..

Interphase is the beginning, so there are spaghetti-like lines in the center called Chromatids. 

Prophase is the next stage where the nuclear membrane starts to disappear and the centrioles start to have spindle fibers coming out of them.

Metaphase is where the chromosomes align in the middle. Middle, metaphase both starts with an M. 

Think of Anaphase as a part. The chromosomes separate.

Telophase is where the split, or called cleavage, starts to appear.
