Art analysis provides a unique opportunity to teach students about an author’s purpose by helping them understand how different forms of communication aim to inform, persuade, or entertain.
Just like authors, artists use specific techniques, styles, and choices in their work to convey a particular message. By examining an artwork, students can learn to recognize how colors, shapes, subject matter, and composition are used intentionally, much like the language and structure in a written text.
Comparing artwork to written texts strengthens students' critical thinking skills as they learn to identify and interpret the creator’s intent.
By engaging with artwork, students can practice recognizing these subtle cues and draw parallels between art and writing.
