Description:
Before painting, the teacher administrator explained to students the materials available and the theme for the painting. Following the teacher's explanation and guidance, students watched a 1 minute 45 second stimulus video which showed a variety of photographic images. The images combined to give a strong sense of colour and context. While students were not expected to produce a finalized painting during the task session, they were encouraged to use their time to full advantage.
