Character Analysis Art Activity: Twitter Perspectives

The Art Curator for Kids - Character Analysis Art Activity - Twitter Perspectives

One great way to analyze and interpret a work of art is to do character analysis–looking at visual clues to understand the motives, actions, thoughts, and feelings of the characters in the artwork.

In my Art Appreciation Printable Worksheet Bundle that you can get for free by signing up for my e-mail list, there is an activity I created called “Twitter Perspectives” that focuses on this way of interpreting art. (You can also find more character analysis activities in the art worksheets 25 pack for $12).

    How do you address the nudity in the Manet and Bernini? I like the idea of tweets, but prefer to go with “safer” artworks.

      Long story short, I basically tell the students to get over it, lol. I have more to say but I haven’t had time to write it. I will be writing a post about this very soon in response!

Testimonials

I like how this program, unlike other art class resource membership programs, feels authentic. It's like art matters more here, and not fancy flash-in-the-pan trendiness. The goal of Art Class Curator seemed to be helping kids develop a lifelong love and art appreciation versus "Hey, look. I painted this fish."
Erin A.
Your questions are helping me to delve into much deeper learning, and my students are getting better at discussion-and then, making connections in their own work. Art Class Curator is awesome!
Denise W.
Interestingly, my lower performing classes really get engaged in these [lessons] and come away with some profound thoughts!
Melissa G.
I had the most amazing 6th grade class today. They were jumping out of their seats with hands raised just to respond and give input. It was as if I was waving candy in front of them! They saw more and more and the ideas and interpretations unfolded. So cool!!! This is what makes teaching art so wonderful – thank you!!
Caroline G.
I just wanted to thank you for the invaluable resource you have through Art Class Curator. Not only do you have thought provoking activities and discussion prompts, but it saves me so much time in preparing things for myself! I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface with your site.
