What is going on in this painting?
Since 1977, ArtWorks has been engaging children in dynamic conversations that start with a simple open-ended question, “What is going on in this art work?” Using an inquiry-based approach, students discuss and interpret works of art. They develop their own voices in responding to art as they strengthen communication and critical thinking skills. ArtWorks fosters multiple perspectives and reflections that often extend to other subjects and beyond the world of art. Help start the conversation.
