For the suggested images in the unit, the students will look at these images of art and record observations. Some images can be substituted for others in the lessons. These images can also be adapted to other content areas like social studies, English literature, Spanish, and art appreciation. Students will be encouraged to focus on scenery, gender roles, socio–economic representation, family life, light/dark contrast, proximity and focal points. No matter how they are used, the main focal point for ELL students will be to record observations and engage in focused conversation.
