The T in Art is for Thinking
Laurene M. Ring
“I like learning to read art. It takes a lot of thinking to read it though.”
“I learned what a metaphor is in English and in paintings.”
“I think that art is something you explore.”
“I think it is very interesting getting to learn about paintings. I like looking for details in a picture, so it’s pretty fun when we point out the details and talk about them. I think it is very educated, but just a little more work for our brains to get used to, but that’s perfectly OK. I like a challenge once in a while.”
“I like studying about artists and their work. I also like learning how to interpret the art and what the artist is trying to tell you through the art.”
“Art paintings are fun to look at and I like to try to guess what the paintings are about, what they were meant to be about, focal points, textures, and I like to try to see what colors, lines, textures, and different feeling could make the picture different.”
