3. Practicing With Group Interpretation and Focus Group Research Bring to class a picture of a piece of art that you find interesting. Have your colleagues respond to and interpret the picture or artwork. Practice applying different theoretical perspectives and then try putting these perspectives aside to talk about the artwork based on your own life experiences. Now discuss the following questions:

A. What was this activity like for you?

B. What issues or concerns came up when interpreting the picture or artwork?

C. How does cultural or historical context contribute to the interpretations you and your colleagues made?
