Display the paintings as a ‘body of work’.
- Ask students to gather in front of the display and look at the works thoughtfully.
- Ask them to find 3 things they find interesting about any of them.
- During the discussion include references to:
- composition - placement of foreground, middle ground and background
- details - things that show it is spring
- textures – that have been created using different brushstrokes
- contrast – how it has been used to balance the composition and get the eye to travel through the whole space
- feelings the works evoke
- challenges they may have had and how they solved them - Ask them to tell how they felt about doing this project.
