Finding Grammar in Works of Art - Autumn/Harvest Theme

This activity provides students with a creative extension for grammar review. When examining a piece of art, I challenge children to approach it as if they are reading the image. They can begin by skimming the illustration and then dig deeper, analyzing all the nooks and crannies.  Each task card contains an image, a caption identifying the artist, title, and creation date, and a series of directions pertaining to grammar.

There are 14 works of art total including: Jean-François Millet, Haystacks: Autumn, 1874 Yosa Buson, Autumn Landscape, 1780 Alfred Sisley, The Road from Versailles to Louveciennes, 1879 Paul Cézanne, Dish of Apples, 1876 Joshua Cristall, Barking Timber in Wychwood Forest, Oxfordshire, 1818 Camille Pissarro, The Harvest, Pontoise, 1881 Wolfgang Adam Töpffer, Young Woman in the Vaudois after the Grape Harvest, 1821 Winslow Homer, The V
