Art Appreciation

Art appreciation is all about looking at, thinking about, and asking questions about works of art. We tend to use all the other components of art grammar here.

Art appreciation starts in the grammar layer of learning as we look at art and notice the details of a work of art with our students. While students are young, we just want to let them talk about what they see. There are no right or wrong answers. Students don’t have to defend their statements or draw specific conclusions, as they would in the dialectic layer.

Here are some example questions you can ask in the grammar stage to help students notice details in a work of art:

What’s the first thing you see?

What else do you see?

What details do you notice?

What story is this art telling?

What questions do you have about this artwork?

Where do you see the seven elements of art or the principles of design in this artwork?

Does this artwork remind you of anything else?

How is this art similar to other art we’ve looked at?

How is this art different from other art we’ve looked at?

When was this work of art created? What else was happening in the world?

What can we learn from this about the artist’s culture?

What do you feel when you look at this piece of art?

What do you think the artist was feeling when he/she created this?

Do you like this work of art? Why or why not?
