4.) How could we connect this activity to the elements and principles? (5 points)
The activity connects to the elements and principles because the picture the teacher shows the
class uses elements such as color and texture. The teacher could also discuss elements such as
color, texture, line, etc.

5.) What kinds of follow up or next step activities could we do after something like this? (5
points)

A follow up activity could be to discuss the elements of art, talk about other pieces of art done
by the same artist, or to look at other pictures and ask what they see.

6.) Elementary Ed. How could this be used cross curricularly? Art Ed. How could this transfer
into a project? (5 points)

This could be transferred into a project when after talking about what they see in the picture or
how the picture makes them feel to then draw a picture of how they would portray that feeling
or portray what they saw in the picture. For example, the teacher talked about how there’s dark
clouds so maybe it was raining, they could then draw a picture that would portray raining.
