Finding Grammar in Works of Art- Winter 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 Henry Durrie, Red School House, 1858 Suzuki Harunobu, The Snow Ball, 1770 Frederic Edwin Church, Aurora Borealis, 1865 Jonathan K. Trego and J. L. Williams, Trappers, 1855 Henry François Farny, A Successful Hunt, 1906 Abraham Rademaker, Snow Falling on a Dutch Town, 1881 Winslow Homer, Lumbering in the Winter, 1821 Robert Charles Dudley, The Atlantic Telegraph, 1866 Aert van der Neer, S
