	Lesson Four Components: cultural/historical, creative/productive
identify and explore the various functions of visual art explore the relationship visual art has to the other art forms begin to understand the use of the principles of design in the work of others and increase the ways they use the principles in their visual art experiences continue to extend their understanding of the elements of art through exploration and analysis continue to perceive, describe, analyse and interpret art works and make informed judgments about art works using increasingly appropriate vocabulary	Students should look for examples of high contrast in portraits from newspapers, magazines and art works. Look for as many different renderings and purposes as possible and discuss the different treatments and techniques used. Make studies of the head using a great deal of contrast by shining a strong light on the figure in a dark room. To reinforce the previous lesson, pick an unusual point-of-view for the students to observe. These studies will help the students to see shapes and understand that a work of art can look like a person even if an eye is not described, the hair has no texture or an arm is foreshortened and appears half as long as it normally is. Students should discuss their works when completed. (See "Adapting the Viewing Process for the Discussion of Student Work" for information.)
