What does a portrait tell us?
10 minutes
Lead a discussion on what can be deduced from a portrait of Denis Croteau by Robert Charbonneau by closely observing it on the EducArt platform. What is the relationship between the work and its title? What are this person’s hobbies? What might his home look like?
To delve further into this topic
We suggest that you look at the work of Nicholas Hilliard on the EducArt platform and discuss the role of artworks in the preservation of our collective memory.
