Overview
This routine asks learners to analyze portions of an image closely. Viewers interpret, associate
connections between the pieces, then make predictions about the artwork as a whole or what
the artwork communicates.
Questions
Zoom In Routine
3 different Zooms Ins
asking student what they see or notice
What is your interpretation of what might be going on based on what you are
seeing?
Reveal More of the Image
What new things do you see?
How does this change your hypothesis or interpretation? Has the new
information answered any of your wonders or changed your previous ideas?
using If-then statements to provide evidence for what the
students think that way.
What new things are you wondering about?
Repeat the Reveal and Questioning Until the Whole Image Has Been Revealed
What lingering questions remain for you about this image?
Variations
Our group interpreted this routine in a couple of different ways, and thought it could be adapted
either way depending on the age group and/or image being presented
1. The image is zoomed in, and each new image is as if a camera is panning
outward. In this way, the new image would contain the details of the previous image, but
with additional detail, until the whole is revealed.
2. A part of the image is revealed with the questions asked. Each consecutive
reveal has a different part of the image all together. In this way, the images dont
necessarily contain any of the same information as the previous image, but at the end,
the final image is revealed.
Steps
1. Display a section of an image and invite students to look closely at what is in
front of them.
2. Invite the students to develop hypotheses or interpretations of what they are
seeing
a. giving evidence for why the students think this way
3. Uncover another part of the image, taking away the first image, and invite
students to look closely at the image.
4. Have students come up with a hypothesis or interpretation for this image
