  2. By exploring art making and meaning through questions you learn how to slow down, step back, look at, analyze, reflect on, and interpret art and your everyday visual experience.

  3. Your investment in art inquiry will not only increase your understanding and appreciation of art, but will also give you skills to transform the ordinary visual world into a more fascinating and meaningful place. Photo Credit: Debi Johnson

  4. You can use four broad questions to explore any artwork, including Cradle by Michael Brolly Where No Coyote Has Gone Before by Anne Coe sculpture, painting, Norman Lykes House by Frank Lloyd Wright or architecture.

  5. You can explore any artwork by asking: 1. What Can I See? 2. What Else Can I Learn? 3. What Does It Mean? 4. How Does It Compare? Questions 1 & 2 seek facts. Questions 3 & 4 call for conclusions. Mayahuel by Tlisza Jaurique

  6. You can use the same four questions to explore any object made by people, including such everyday things as cars, toys, shoes, dishes, or backpacks.

  7. You can also use the same four questions to help you make your own artwork, if you ask each question a little differently. 1. What Can I See? becomes How Do I Want My Artwork To Look? 2. What Else Can I Learn?becomes Where Can I Get Ideas for My Artwork? 3. What Does It Mean?becomes What Do I Want My Artwork To Say? 4. How Does It Compare? becomes What Can I Learn From Other Artworks? Michael Brolly and Anne Coe
