Art+Show+Project+-+Girls+Campus


 * Students!**

On Friday we will be going down to the **Art Show** in the school's rotunda. Next Tuesday, we will check out the art show on the boys campus! After looking at all of the pieces of art, you will choose the two (one from each) that most captivate (interests) you! You are going to take a few notes, and then prepare to make a brief statement about the **theme** of each piece of art.

//What is the purpose of this activity?//

This will be one of the last activites this year about **subjectivity**! Artists place meaning into each piece of art that they create, which is shaped by their identity, experiences and beliefs. In turn, the meaning that each person takes from a piece of art is shaped by their identity, experiences and beliefs! The goal of this assignment is to contrast the meaning that you take from a piece of art with the meaning that the artist put into it!

//How will we do this?//

Mr Whitehead will begin to post pictures of each piece of art on this page. Under the discussion tab, students will post a statement about what they identified as the **theme** of the piece. Once both our classes are finished, Mr Whitehead will send this page to the original artists, who will have an opportunity to tell you what they believe the meaning contained within their art is. Any differences between the two will form a perfect opportunity to study **subjectivity**!

 * Note**: When it is time to post your statement, first check to see if there is already a thread about the piece of art you are writing about. If there is, post your statement on that thread. If not, create a new thread with a subject like this:

If you were identifiying the theme of a piece of literature, you would start by analyzing the literary devices. For this project, you will take notes about the artistic devices used! These include: //Mr. Whitehead is not an art teacher, so this isn't a complete list! Feel free to identify and discuss other artistic techniques.//
 * **Subject** - what do you see?
 * **Title** - what is it? //Why// is it?
