Word Play!

Word Play and Art Criticism
Art criticism is critical thinking about individual artworks or groups of artworks. With that said, what an enjoyable time we had with Word Play. Noise- Flying- Full- Calm- Mix...Can you interpret a word with a drawing? We did! The challenge was to choose a word and create an artwork based on that word. At the end of class we tried to guess what each others word was by looking closely and describing details in each others artworks. As students learn how to offer interpretations, they also learn how to make judgments about the plausibility of those offered by others. In the end, what they discovered was that even though they had only one word in mind when creating their art, there were actually many possibilities for all of the words to work.
