Compare, Contrast, and Write

Draw two large overlapping circles. Ask the students to select two works of art illustrated in the resource and write words or phrases that describe each object in one of the two circles. In the space where the circles overlap, describe characteristics the two works of art share. Using the words in the diagram, ask the students to write a brief essay about the works of art.
