GOAL: Students will produce webpages that compare and/or
contrast a piece of artwork from Ancient Civilizations or the Middle Ages
to a piece of artwork from Modern times. They will need to use the elements
and principles of art in their vocabulary.
Art Standards to be addressed:
| Artistic Perception |
Observing, processing, and responding to sensory information through the
language and skills unique to the arts |
The students will analyze the similarities and differences of two pieces
of art, one from the past and one from the present. They will communicate
their interpretations and support their conclusions using the vocabulary
terms of the elements and principles of art in their content. |
| Historical and Cultural Context |
Understanding historical contributions and cultural dimensions of art |
Students identify two artworks that have similarities and explain the historical
significance of each on a web page. |
| Creative Expression |
Creating performing and participating in the Arts |
Students create a webpage in which the layout and color choices demonstrate
the use of the elements and principles of art. |
