Reading Art Across the CurriculumReading Art Across the Curriculum is a course from Focus 5, Inc that encourages the use artwork, especially portraits to develop literacy and critical thinking skills.
Portraits are often viewed as a mere depiction of a person when in actuality they can be read as visual texts that communicate information without words. The goal of this approach is for teachers to learn how powerful portraits can be in the classroom, to feel more confident looking, thinking and talking about portraits, and to use artworks as a regular component of all instruction across the curriculum. |
ResourcesReading Art Across the Curriculum includes nine elements that students can look for in artworks, four thinking questions and six sentence stems for talking about art.
Also available as Powerpoint and Keynote slides
