Begin to interpret the artwork using these questions…
Try asking the following questions when looking at an artwork, either as a group or as an individual. Remember that there is no wrong or right response.
- What do you see? First of all, let’s make sure we have really looked at the artwork. Keep it simple. Tell it as it is: Can you tell what it’s made from? How big is it? What can you see? Ask these questions as a group and you’ll find the hive mind helps individuals with the group see things they wouldn’t have seen before.
- What do you like? What does it make you think about?
- What do you see which makes you curious?
- What do you struggle with? Are there things which don’t make sense to you?
- Can you find out anything about the artist or artwork? Does the title help? Does the artist share why they made the piece and what they were thinking?
- Have your feelings changed towards the artwork since we started exploring it by asking questions?
