Art and emotions

Art can be a great way to show our emotions. Learners analyze works of art in the context of emotions. 

The recipient of the work is not able to fully understand the artist's thoughts, and what he wanted to express with his work.  While creating, the author might have had something completely different in mind than what we see. Therefore, searching for hidden meanings in art is not advisable.

It's best to concentrate on what's in front of you, what you can see. A strenuous search for hidden meaning can disturb the process of perceiving the work. 

There are no misinterpretations!

You don't have to understand art.

Ask learners to describe pictures – what they can see and what they feel.

Examples of questions:
