Summary: In this lesson students learn how to analyse any artwork by looking in detail at media, composition, context, view point, subject matter, to name a few. The artwork used in this lesson is Franz Marc’s “Regen”, however the skills can be applied to any piece. The aim is to support students to analyse their own artworks and those of other artists creatively and independently with artistic insight.
