•Similarities

Look at two different artworks with people.  What are the similarities between them? Write down all the commonalities you can see.  What are the similarities between the lives of the people in the artwork and yours? 

•The painter’s view

Choose a painting and pretend you are the artist.  Think about: what noises might you hear? What might you smell? What is the weather and temperature? What might you be feeling? Why did you choose to make this painting? 

•Before and after

Look closely at an artwork and discuss what is happening.  What might have happened before this moment? Draw a picture to show it. Do the same for after.
