= ART: **Angela Vennochi** = = **__Description:__** Students will go on a website scavenger hunt.

Then they will have to hand in their responses. = = = = __**Skills:**__ Website navigation and research skills, practice in analysis and synthesis of works of art, improve writing and typing skills, detection of the elements of art. = = = = __**Materials:**__ Computer with internet access to research the website, Microsoft Word to type up their written responses, paper, and a printer = = = = __**Procedures:**__ The students will log on to the computer and go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art webpage. From the home page they will click on the Collection Database link. I will provide them with a list of catalog numbers that correspond with specific works of art from either: European Paintings, Drawings and Prints, American Paintings and Sculpture, and Modern Art. They will be given a worksheet that will guide them and ask specific art related questions that can be filled in right on the sheet. Then the students will have to pick their favorite work of art from the list and type up a detailed response about it. They will have to answer questions like: “1. Write the title and the artist? 2. What is the media used? 3. Describe in detail what the artwork looks like and the images that are portrayed. 4. How and where are the elements of art being used throughout the piece (line, color, shape, form, space, and texture)? 5. Write a personal statement why you choose that specific work and how you identify with it." The work sheet and written response will be due two weeks after it is assigned and introduced in class. = = = = __**Assessment:**__ The guided scavenger worksheet will be 50% of the grade. The worksheet will be 25 questions and wighted 2 points each. The typed response will also be 50% of the assignment grade and each of the 5 questions will be worth 10 points. Full credit will be given to answers that are thought out, well written, and detailed. This assignment will be good practice and an excellent introduction for a formal gallery report. =

**Teaching strategy:** The teaching method I would adopt for this art class is student centered learning/ cooperative learning. The focus of this project is on active learning where students solve problems together, formulate questions of their own, discuss, brainstorm and debate project. In cooperative learning students will work as a team.


 * Aim:** In small groups students will create and present a PowerPoint presentation on King Tut and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs.

**Skills:** Students work as a team, (cooperative learning). Decide on topic, brainstorm topic, divide areas to be researched, research relevant information on the internet, in books, magazines and DVD's. Agree on imagery and the salient points to use, design and create PowerPoint, rehearse speaking in front of each other. Develop technology skills through the use of PowerPoint program.


 * Materials:** Paper, pens, internet access.


 * Procedures:** Teacher will introduce the project by discussing the topic, what is to be learned, the outcome, how we will achieve the projects outcome, techniques to be used and the grading system. The project will culminate with a visit to the Exhibition of King Tut and the Golden Pharaohs at the Discovery Times Square Exposition in New York. http://www.kingtut.org The teacher will divide students into groups of 3-4. Students will discuss and agree on an area of discussion within the topic. The teacher will offer advice on subject area. Students will research the topic. Individually students will write a 1 page report on the information they have found, this will be handed in to the teacher for assessment. As a group the information to be used in the actual presentation will be discussed and agreed upon. Students will find imagery to compliment their written work and compile the information in a PowerPoint presentation. Presenting the topic will be rehearsed, students will take it in turns to talk, or one student may be chosen to present the entire topic. A bibliography must be included at the end of the PowerPoint presentation.


 * Assessment:** Students will be assessed on their group PowerPoint presentation. Following the project guidelines, working together as a team, their 1 page report, research capabilities and use of imagery in relation to text.
