Lesson Eight

Component:
critical/responsive

  • investigate how artists use symbols and other means to convey meaning

  • explore the relationship visual art has to the other art forms

  • examine how technology has influenced visual art and artists

  • Discuss how some of the drawing methods used by visual artists (exaggeration, colour or lighting, unusual point-of-view, contrast and the bizarre) are also used by film-makers to create a mood. View an age-appropriate horror or suspense film and look for examples of these techniques in the filming, special effects, make- up, costuming, etc. Ask the students to write in their journals their observations of the techniques used in filming.
