I give them the reproduction and a guideline sheet for each step. After they have completed the phases of the analysis, students choose the most important elements of the art work, the artist's name, medium, etc. and use these words to type into Wordle. I also require them to color coordinate the Wordle to the work of art. They are amazing. Jan I have used Wordle when teaching students to analyze art work.

Here is a tip for keeping words "hooked" together: put a period between them. For instance, if you want the words Abstract Art to appear together in the cloud, hook them together like this: Abstract.Art Also, I put Wordle in my Favorites so that it takes them straight to the "create" page and it bypasses the gallery. They didn't even notice it. Thank you for posting how to make some words larger- I was wondering about that! I have used Wordle with my students.
