Three ITE students collaborated during their placement
to devise a scheme of work based on Rubens’s
painting of his home 'Het Steen'. All specialists
in Early Years, they produced a list of questions
to engage children under the age of five in looking
closely at the image.
Key questions to engage Foundation-aged children:
- What can you see in the picture?
- Where can you see people in the picture? What are
they doing?
- Who are the people on the cart? Where do you think
they are going?
- Where do you think they have come from?
- Who might live in the big house? Have they got any
neighbours?
- Do you think that the people in the cart know the
people in the house?
- What do you think the man in the front with
the gun is doing? What position is he in? Why
do you think the dog is there?
- Can you see any water in the picture?
- Can you see the sun?
- What colours can you see? (Do they suggest
a season?)
- What sounds might you hear in this picture?
- If you could go into this painting, where
would you go and what would you do?
