The Importance Of Looking At Art With Your Class
It’s just like cooking scrambled eggs!
I love food probably even more than I love art! So it is no wonder that I often use analogies or similes in my visual arts teaching that revolve around food. For example, I often use the terminology “ingredients of an artwork” or an artwork’s “recipe” when discussing or referring to the elements and principles of art. When teaching, we often introduce concepts that our students struggle to understand and so explaining something in terms or by using a comparison they may understand can make the world of difference.
