Living Artist Powerpoint

Living Artist PowerPoint

DUE APRIL 19 & 21, 2010

Create a PowerPoint presentation to introduce a lesson theme, artist, historical period or style, or has a cultural issue focus.

The presentation is intended to be used for motivational and historical instructional purposes in a Junior High or High School art room. You should develop an idea that you will be able to use in future teaching situations (Saturday classes, student teaching, or first year teaching). The artist and images MUST be age appropriate and for public school presentation not for college level presentation.

The PowerPoint presentation should feature a living artist and present information that is appropriate for a public school art lesson.

The PowerPoint will be assessed on visual qualities, organization, and appropriateness to the public school setting. Bullet points should be animated so they come up one at a time. Font sizes should be a minimum of 18pts. or larger. Written information should be brief (minimal).

A written handout should accompany your in-class presentation. Make enough copies for both sections of Art 211 (25 for spr ’09). Your handout should be designed to communicate historical and formal information for your unit that you will expect your students know on the test.

You will write 5 art historical/cultural questions related to your living artist that were presented in the powerpoint and handout. Art historical issues have to do with time, location, characteristics of style that allow for identification of the artist, and influences. Questions are due with the handout at the time of your presentation.
