Introduction

This book is my exploration of applying Paul Carney's Artist Investigations LKS2 approach to one picture. I've chosen this picture because [I recently saw it in an exhibition in my local museum].

You can see Paul's prompts and questions on the next page and my application of them to this picture on subsequent pages.

The book is structured so that when each double page is open on the screen both the picture and questions can be seen. Alternatively you might have the picture open on a screen for viewers (unclick 'side by side pages' in settings to make this happen) and the questions available to you only.

The picture itself is a Creative Commons image taken from the ArtUK website.

Close looking: what can you see in this picture?

Loading...

Start by naming and describing what can be seen in the picture.

As you collect words and phrases one will lead to another and your questions and prompts can support this, building up lists around themes.

In this picture you might collect words about [geographical features, weather, what people are doing and words or letters].

Move on to words about the picture focused on its composition.

In this picture you might focus on [colour and tone (how the light and bright colours contrast with the dark colours perhaps) and space (near and far away, perspective, height and viewpoint)].

Mood and feeling

How do you feel when you look at this picture?
What makes you feel like that?

You might model this using sentence structures such as:

“When I look at this picture I feel … because …”

“The .... makes me feel ..."

You might suggest mood and feeling words to support children to go further than happy and sad.
