We are going to be looking in detail at the paintings below. In laptop pairs you will be labelling the paintings (in PowerPoint) with the following information:
1) What does the painting show and what can you see?
2) What do you notice about the brush strokes?
3) What colours are most common?
4) Are there any parts that interest you? Why?
5) Label the diagram with three or four words that describe it to you.
Use text boxes and arrows to label the paintings. Try not to make your labels too big, you should still be able to see the painting after labelling it!
