Introductory Activity: Print image cards for small group collaboration. Students will sort images into three categories:

1. Representational Art (realistic imagery)
2. Abstract Art (recognizable imagery that does not reflect actual appearance)
3. Nonrepresentational Art (does not represent a depiction of the physical appearance of people or objects)

Formal Analysis Activity: 

Choose a few images to compare and contrast: How did the artist use line, shape, color, balance, repetition, or overall composition to convey

1. The illusion of movement or rhythm
2. Visual tension
3. A mood or feeling

NOTE: pdf file of these images is meant to be printed front-to-back so that citations will appear on the reverse side of each image.
