Prepare for a tutoring lesson.

Try this with Visual Art

1. Pick one topic and bring a question, an attempted answer or a short section of your notes.
2. Write a goal you can check at the end, such as explaining a method or improving a response.
3. Choose one independent follow-up task to try after working through the example.

Pick a starting point

• Turning a direct stimulus or first-hand experience into a workable personal inquiry question
• What each kind of art knowledge does, and how to tell them apart in an artwork
• Tracing a contemporary artist back through their historical influences
• Reading two artworks side by side through a selected context to surface layers of meaning
• Collecting observational evidence and weighing it against other people's interpretations
• Judging which artists, sources and disciplines actually deserve a place in your inquiry
