Whoa. We covered a lot of ground this week.
We finished our paper mache bowls, took a quiz on Art from Africa, took notes on Cubism and made our "Cubist Creations."
SEHS:
Mon. - Finished bowls
Wed. - Took quiz, notes on Cubism, started Cubist creations (homework due Fri if not completed in class).
Fri. - Started Art from Europe research (steps #1 & 2 in the packet.)
IF YOU WERE ABSENT:
*** For people who went to language day on Friday 5/1 ***
If you want to choose your own European art movement, you need to do Steps #1 & 2 before Tuesday 5/5. You can bring your rankings of your top 3 choices to class on Tuesday and I'll work with those. Otherwise, you'll be a day behind; I'll assign you an art movement for Tuesday and you'll need to do step #1 on your own for homework.
The packet is pasted below. If the formatting isn't perfect, just do the best you can. The ideas are most important.
SHS
Tues. - Finished bowls
Thurs. - Took quiz, notes on Cubism, started Cubist creations (homework due Mon. if not completed in class).
We'll start Art from Europe research (steps #1 & 2 in the packet) on Monday.

Be sure to finish your bowl and get the notes on Cubism when you return to class. The grading rubric is pasted below just FYI.

European Artistic Movements Name: _________________________
Individual Research Project Total: ______/180
For this project, you will have the opportunity to find and research art from Europe that most interests you. After learning about the movement you choose, you will then create an original piece of artwork in the style of that movement. Finally, you will do a short presentation of your artwork to the class, explaining how your art reflects your chosen movement.
Step 1: Choosing a Movement (50 points – 10 points per movement). Date Due:__________
Directions: Before you choose a movement, you need to make sure you know all of your options. For each of the 10 artistic movements listed below, write a brief explanation (phrases instead of complete sentences are fine) of what the movement is, the way you understand it. Be sure to address what makes this art movement different than others. Then, look at a few examples of the artistic style, choose one that you like, quickly sketch it, and write the name of the work and the artist in the space provided.
You must complete this basic research on EACH of the movements BEFORE you can choose one movement to further research. I will assign the movements based on peoples’ top three choices. Not everyone will get his or her top choice.
I recommend using the following website as a resource: www.arthistoryguide.com. You may also use other sites for your research, but I recommend starting here.

Step 2: Choosing Your Movement (5 points) Date Due:__________
When choosing the European Artistic Movement for this project, I encourage you to think about:
• Which movement could I learn the most about (because I have not studied it before)?
• Which movement will ask me to look at the world in a new way?
Once you’ve considered these, please rank your preferred movements for this project in order, with #1 being your top choice and #3 being your last choice.

Step 3: Researching Your Movement (30 points) Date Due:__________
Directions: Now that you have your assigned movement, you need to find out even more information about it before you can create your piece of original artwork. Answer the questions below thoroughly and thoughtfully, making sure to use complete sentences when required. You may need to look at additional websites in order to find the information below. Please don’t use Wikipedia. I recommend the following sites: www.artlex.com or http://www.artcyclopedia.com.

5. Choose 2 new examples of your type of art (not the same one as you did on Step 1) from 2 different artists. For each one, write the name of the piece and the name of the artist. Then, explain how the piece of art reflects the movement in 3-4 complete sentences. In your explanation, you need to explain how the artwork reflects at least 3 of the elements you listed for question #3. Be specific.
Example 1 (title + artist): __________________________________________________________

Step 4: Planning Your Original Art (5 Points) Date Due:__________
Directions: Below, create a plan for an original piece of art—made by you—that will reflect the main principles of your artistic movement. The scoring criteria for the original artwork is as follows:
• Must reflect a unique subject—not simply a copy of a pre-existing piece (5 points)
• Must clearly demonstrate 3 main principles of the chosen artistic movement (10 points)
• Must demonstrate obvious effort, thought, and care (15 points)
Please keep in mind that I will only provide the following materials in class for you to use: paper, glue, colored pencils, black pens, rulers, compasses, watercolors, oil pastels, and tempera paint. If there is anything else you will need for your artwork, you must bring it to class yourself. You will have one entire class to make your creation. If you need more time, you will need to finish your project at home.
In the space below, make a list of materials you will need and where you’ll get them. Then, create a basic sketch of what you want your artwork to look like. This rough draft is worth 5 points. If you think that you will need/want something to look at as you create your artwork, like a photo, magazine clipping, etc., be sure to bring that from home on the day we create.
Will be done in class on: _________________

Step 7: Presentation Preparation (10 Points) Date Due:__________
Next you will prepare a short (1-2 minute) presentation that teaches the main characteristics of your art movement to the class. You will show your original art and explain how your artwork reflects the art movement’s main characteristics.
To prepare for this, brainstorm below how you will convey this information to the class. This should be a creative, fun presentation! You can include song, dance, a skit, a game show, etc. By the end of your presentation, the class should understand and remember the movement, the 3 main characteristics, and how your piece of art fits within that artistic category.

Step 8: Presentation (35 Points) Date Due:__________
Directions: For your presentation, you and the other people who chose your movement will each show the class your artwork and explain how it shows 3 main characteristics of your chosen movement. Please do not simply read your response off of this sheet. You should speak to us, making eye contact and speaking at an appropriate volume. You will receive an individual score for your speaking part and the group will receive a common score for creativity. The presentation will be scored on the following criteria:
_____/10 Clearly explains 3 main elements of movement
_____/10 Clearly explains how the 3 main elements are included in each person’s original artwork –
using specific examples
_____/5 Uses appropriate volume and language – show appropriate enthusiasm
_____/5 Faces audience and makes eye contact
