START WITH ART: The Long Leg

We're starting our day by examining the Edward Hopper painting pictured below. Take a look at the artwork then read the questions to the students/children in your life and see how starting your day with art can ignite creativity and critical thinking!

This takes us less than five minutes each morning and tends to be re-visited later in the day at the dinner table or during our evening reading sessions. 

Title: The Long Leg

Artist: Edward Hopper

Date: 1935

Medium: Oil on canvas

Dimensions: 50.8 x 76.8 cm

Start with Art Questions: 

• Can you describe the scene?

• Describe the colors in the scene. What does the color scheme tell you about the time of day and weather? 

• Imagine you are aboard the sailboat. What do you smell? How does the air feel on your skin?
