The curriculum theme Reading Art builds essential comprehension strategies and draws parallels between art, reading and writing. Six works of art from the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) collection illustrate some of the ways artists communicate stories through a visual language of color, line, shape and pattern. The curriculum provides suggestions for teaching students in grades K-8 to use proficient reading strategies, visualizing, determining importance, making connections, inferring, questioning and synthesizing, to analyze a work of art in much the same way they read strategically.
