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.
