Guided Looking

Look at the painting with a partner.  Talk about the painting together.
  • What do you each like about it?
  • How does it make you feel?
  • What does it make you think of?
  • Why do you think this painting is in the games unit?
Now consider form:
  • What shapes do you see?
  • Can you see how the artist shows people?
