I like this idea. It reminds me of something I did related to using artworks as a focus for discussing and making for a special program I participated in the early 2000s. I taught literacy through art using a museum collection as inspiration. This was focused in small isolated primary schools in ann area of the Appalachians. We discussed noticing what we saw in interrelated artworks. I guided students towards using higher level describing words centering on the 5 senses, (We imagined what sounds, smells, tastes… we might hear if we were in the picture). Next, we made art inspired by the work. Finally, students wrote about their artwork in a narrative format. This was part of a decade long quantitative study.

Love the sound of this. We’re going to use it as an intro for our Y3 class – ‘Working with Shape and Colour’ from the Access Art Pathway, comparing The Garden and Tilled Field by Miro with Matisse’s cut-outs. Will let you know how we get on!

Sadly, they were lost. The Asheville Art Museum, (In NC, USA) may have some work archived.
