Art Talk - The Starry Night - Vincent van Gogh - ESL Friendly - 7-12 years

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.

Optional: Your learner is encouraged to familiarize themselves with visual elements and principles. I have attached a file with the standard ones but you could also look online with your learner, for resources that support their understanding of these.

Your learner will receive positive and constructive, oral and written feedback based on the how they participated in this class.
