Lesson Three

Component:
critical/responsive

investigate how artists use symbols and other means to convey meaning

Ask the students to watch a popular television program and analyse how the camera angle and the shots affect how a viewer will react to the image. Discuss how different points-of-view can initiate different feelings and responses.

continue to develop an understanding
of the various ways artists acquire and transform ideas into visual form

Look at works where the artist has taken different points-of-view of a person or animal. Examples from Saskatchewan Art Works include, B. Anderson slide #49, A. Herivel slide #11 and M. Lanoo slide #62. Discuss the art works using a process such as "Viewing Art Works", found in this curriculum guide.

continue to perceive, describe and interpret art works and make informed judgments about art works using increasingly appropriate vocabulary

compare similarities and differences (CEL: CCT)

Compare commissioned portraits of people in the community to portrait paintings which are painted for fun or social comment. Discuss how the artist has used a particular point-of-view, posture, clothing, head position, background colour, etc., to add meaning to the work.
