A suggestions for how to use art in the classroom:

• Inspired by Gardner’s “Artful Thinking” research

– (1) To help teachers create rich connections between works of art and curricular topics; and (2) to help teachers use art as a force for developing students’ thinking dispositions.

• Make 3-5 stations around the room with a different work of art at each station

• Have the students go to the station and spend 10-15 minutes answering the following questions :

– What do I see?

– How do I know?

– What is the setting?

– What is different?

– What is the same?

– Give the Latin vocabulary words and label anything you can in the picture
