Compare multiple purposes for creating works of art. Develop an awareness of individual responses to artworks. Learning the Language of Art . Students learn to explore artworks using the language of aesthetic and critical inquiry. Language Transformations .
Students translate their aesthetic and critical knowledge into a foreign language they are studying.
Students establish a relationship with another group of students who are studying the same foreign language or have the reverse complement of first and second languages from the first classroom and agree to exchange aesthetic and critical responses to the same images from an Internet site. Questioning Images . Students write their aesthetic and critical responses to the common images from Lesson Three in a foreign language and exchange them with the students in the collaborating classroom. Students discuss the responses from the exchange classroom and compare similarities and differences in aesthetic and critical interpretations. We have drawn on the National Standards for Arts Education outlined by the Consortium of National Arts Education Associations.
