Looking at Art

Since we have been talking about the importance of water, I chose 5 paintings with water as its subject for our art critique.  We looked at the pictures deeply following the criteria above.  We challenged ourselves to be detailed and thoughtful.  Instead of just saying I see lots of blue, we discussed the shades, whether the colours were dark or bright and the mood the colour gives. We also examined what emotions the painting stirred in us.  Some of the paintings made the children feel calm and peaceful, while others made them feel worried or happy.
