Objective Observation Student Page

Below you see a picture. You are to write two paragraphs about that picture. The first paragraph should give an objective observation of that picture. An objective observation gives the facts of the picture. Another person should be able to see the picture in their mind by reading your evaluation.

The second paragraph should be a subjective observation. A subjective observation describes your personal feels about the subject matter in the picture. You might make statements like “This picture makes me think that…” or “I feel …..when I look at this picture because…”
