The purpose of this Warm-up is to elicit the idea that shapes make up the objects seen and represented in the environment. While students may notice and wonder many things about the painting, recognizing and describing shapes and their locations within it are the important discussion points. When students articulate what they notice and wonder, they have an opportunity to attend to precision in the language they use to describe what they see (MP6).
