Finding Grammar in Works of Art- Spring 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. I’ve also included corresponding information cards for each painting that could be printed double-sided on the back of the task card. There are 14 works of art total including: George Harvey, Spring-Burning Fallen Trees in a Girdled Clearing, 1841 James Tissot, Spring Morning, 1875 Charles-François Daubigny, Apple Blossoms, 1873 Auguste Renoir, A Road in Louveciennes, ca. 1870 Artist Unknown, Vasanti Ragini, ca. 1710 Georges Seurat, Study for "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte", 1884 Henri Rousseau, The Banks of the Bièvre near Bicêtre, 1908 Winslow Homer, Spring Farm Wor
