Responding includes observing, reflecting on, describing, analysing, interpreting, and evaluating art through discussion, writing, research, and studio activities. Perceiving and responding to images are personal and social activities that enhance sensory awareness and aesthetic appreciation of the environment. An informed and sensitive response takes into account the contexts of the maker and the viewer and may involve the maker in self-evaluation. The visual arts also involve creating and communicating through images. Creating is a personally and culturally meaningful way of making unique images.
Images are powerful learning aids that help students connect to language.
