Visual images, like language, carry meaning, and the ability to read images is a useful skill in an increasingly visual world. In this workshop, teachers examine ways to develop student thinking and writing skills using a four-part art criticism process and/or a guided pre-writing approach. Participants learn ways to encourage thinking and motivate student writing using careful observation of a visual artwork as the starting point. Sharing ideas and ways to connect artwork to curriculum themes is part of the workshop.
