Task 3 - What Do You See?
A quick diagnostic checkpoint before the Investigation Lab begins.
An ambiguous artwork
No title given on purpose - what do you see first?
There's no wrong answer - ambiguous artworks are designed to be read differently by different people. That's exactly the mystery this lesson explores.
In one sentence…
How did it make you feel?
Bridge to Phase 3 - Investigation
"Now you will work in three investigation groups. Your goal is not just to find answers… but to discover something new."
What happens in Task 3
A 3-minute Phase 2 - Encounter checkpoint. Students look at an ambiguous artwork, vote intuitively on what they see, then describe their emotional reaction in one sentence before moving into the Investigation Lab.
🎯 Learning objectives
To reinforce, with a real example, that interpretation of art is personal and varies from person to person - preparing students for the "Viewer" role in Phase 3.
