Objective: Students should be able to determine quality of the websites.
Students should be able to describe different ways animals are
represented in art.
Students should be able to infer characteristics of the artist and
his/her culture by the piece.
Anticipatory Set: Ask
students if they have ever been to an art museum? Tell them today
we will be going on an online field trip to different art museums and to appreciate art you need to be a
good detective. You don't need to know a lot about art or the artist.
You can use your detective skills to figure out who the artist was and
what they were like. Use the link at the headline (paintings and sculpture...
) to have
students practice their skills. Have different students look at
one of the four pieces and answer the questions provided. Then
share what they found and wrote.
Procedure: This session first looks at Prehistoric Art and then art by
different cultures. Students will look at the art while you
provide some background on the piece. You should then facilitate
discussion about the piece. Many of these links are just of
paintings and students should look at the piece and infer what the
painting is about, when they think it was painted and why. Make
sure you read about the artists in the links below (not seen on the
session page) so you can give them artist information after they discuss
the piece.
