This week we will move from figurative language to the concept of point of view. We will be discussing the differences between each persons point of view in stories, in art, and life in general. The largest assignment this week is a critique of famous artwork. Students will receive the background information and guided practice to create their own critique of a piece of art. The art critique will be graded with the rubric following Friday's assignments. Here's our schedule:
Mon. Introduction to point of view, short movie clip from "The Dead Poets Society", create a working definition for point of view, point of view activity - No HW
Tues. Begin looking at artwork as a class. Receive notes on how to critique artwork. Describe and analyze a piece of art. HW: Find information about your artist (i.e. where he/she grew up, influences, education, etc.) This can be printed out and brought in to class OR recorded in your analysis worksheet under "Artist Information."
Wed. Describe and analyze a piece of art as a group using the "My Analysis Worksheet". Begin writing the introduction paragraph for the art critique. The artist link below will provide extra information on some of the artists.
