Art Project: Appreciation and Interpretation

Examining artwork; becoming an expert on a famous artist and their painting

You have been assigned a famous artist to research. You will then present what you have learned and
your paraphrased information to the class. Presentations can be made in different formats including a
poster, PowerPoint, a video, a skit, or a short story (etc.). Questions and presentations can be emailed
to hmvowles@cbe.ab.ca (if needed). Students should self-advocate if more time is needed, they want
to present only to the teacher or a small group, or they wish to be assigned a different painting.
Students can also present early if they are ready!

 What is the artwork’s form? (Painting, sculpture, photograph, artifact, 2-D)
 What materials were used? (i.e.: what type of paint?)
 Is the artwork realistic? (does it look like a scene that could actually happen?). Describe it.
 Does the artwork have a foreground, middle ground and background? Describe them.
 Describe the colours.
 What is the artwork’s story? What is its purpose?
 How does the artwork make you feel?

Presentations should also include:

on powerpoint or in a book from the library)

and what you enjoyed.
