Your learner will receive oral feedback during the class in the form of positive and gentle correction of pronunciation and grammar. They will also receive written feedback to encourage them in their quest for fluency in English and their understanding of art and the history of art.Class Experience
In this ongoing class students will develop their English fluency by talking about famous artworks that involve animals as subject matter. They will use the language of composition to discuss how visual elements and principles appear and are applied in the imagery. Learners will be encouraged and supported when responding to the artists' work using the vocabulary and images introduced to them within the lesson. Learners will also hear the artists' stories and in term learn about the intentions of the artists and the contexts of their work. Your learner will be encouraged to participate. Correct English will be gently reinforced by me in positive and constructive way. Not only will your learner develop English language speaking skills and vocabulary, they will also learn about the history of art. Week 1 - Prehistoric Art Week 2 - Ancient Art Week 3 - The Renaissance Week 4 - Impressionism Week 5 - Expressionism Week 6 - Modernism
Learning Goals
Learners will develop their English language speaking skills and expand their vocabulary while talking about art. They will develop their understanding of composition using visual elements and principles to discuss an art work. Visual elements are; colour, value, shape, form, line, texture and space. Visual principles are; contrast, movement, unity (harmony), emphasis (focal point), pattern and rhythm. Learners will also learn about the context of the works they discuss and the intention of that particular artist or art movement. Contextual information can be personal, societal, political, cultural and/or historical. I will encourage your learner to use their voice to respond to art and to develop their fluency in the language of visual composition.
