Received on Instagram this week:
Whether you call it Masterpiece Monday, Tuesday Muse Day, Works of Wonder Wednesday, Thinker Thursday, or Fine Art Friday, consider finding a way to fold more art analysis into your English classes. Why? Low/no-prep for you. Huge gains in analytical thinking for your students.
Six of my favorite paintings that get kids thinking:
• George Bellows’ Dempsey and Firpo
• Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night
• Manierre Dawson’s Steps
• Edvard Munch’s Separation
• Banksy’s Near Bethlehem
• Grant Wood’s Death on Ridge Road
