Teaching Tip

Choose an image of visual art, age-appropriate for student(s).

For example:

• For early elementary: choose something colorful and narrative like Horace Pippin's "Christmas Morning"

• For high school: choose something abstract and more complex, like Georgia O'Keeffe's "Waterfall III."

• "What is going on in this picture?"
• "What do you see that makes you say that?"

The students will self-learn through this discussion and discovery of what they alreay know and continue to look for in visual images.
