Telling a story
What is a great way to have students use their critical thinking skills in order to explain a known work of art. (Exposing children to famous works of art not only fulfills an academic standard it also allows children to express their individuality and understand that their peers may see something else, which is okay. This is crucial so that students can begin to understand and appreciate diversity)
500
Thinking like an artist
What is the best way for students to observe and create art. (artists tend to look at things more closely, they dream and imagine, and they are open minded. It is important to think like an artist because it will help students find beauty in everyday situations, learn that everyone sees the world differently, and they will enhance their imaginations and critical thinking skills).
