Do images communicate? How do they do this? Why do they do this? What do they say or tell us about an artist? How can we figure this out…and probably most importantly (in my humble opinion…#nothumbleatall) why is this communication important to us.
Know what? Lets dive straight in deep and just look at pictures..
How do we even begin to understand this stuff?? Some key things for you all to think about;
Time Period: When was this created?
Period / Style: What art period does this belong to? What could this tell us?
Intended Audience: Who may have this been created for and why?
Images: What images are contained within the image (what is the subject?)
Colours: What is the colour choice? How does this effect our interpretations?
Task for growing understanding: Pick 2 art pieces and unpack what they may be about utilizing the above concepts. These can be any art you decide you wish to explore (game art / memes / anime / manga/ classical art etc………………..)
Achievement Standard: Students evaluate how representations communicate artistic intentions in artworks they make and view
