Students will understand that the cultural ideas reflected in works of art might express perceptions that may or may not be accurate about the group of people portrayed—how they look and seem.Students will understand that information about an art object can influence our perceptions of the object. Students will learn that certain skills help us investigate works of art: description, analysis, and evaluation.
