Resources
Images of framed artworks on display in museums, galleries, and homes
Once students have framed their artwork, allow them to circulate about the room for two minutes to look at their classmates' work.
Direct them to return to their tables. Ask them to think about a title for their family portrait. Pose this questions:
- What should a good title do?
- Why might it be important to add two or three sentences about the family portrait to the label?
Invite volunteers to show their framed artwork and read the title and description. After each presentation, ask:
- Do we have any questions for this person?
- If you could hang your artwork anywhere, where night you hang it? Why?
Teacher will exhibit artwork in hallways. Class will do a gallery walk.
