Your learner will receive positive and constructive, oral and written feedback based on the how they participated in this class.Class Experience
In this class students will develop their English fluency by identifying the formal qualities of an artwork. They will use the language of composition; visual elements and principles, to discuss how these appear and are applied in 'The Starry Night', a painting by Vincent Van Gogh. Learners will be encouraged and supported when responding to Van Gogh's work using the vocabulary and images provided. By looking at several of Van Gogh's other paintings, students will also learn about the context of his work and what he intentions were in terms of his art making practice.
Learning Goals
Learners 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 work and the intention of the artist. Contextual information can be personal, societal, political, cultural an/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.
