Comparative Analysis with Art

Goal: Visiting the art gallery to compare two works of art

Agenda:
Read
Group 1 visits the art gallery
Group 2 catch up/read (then we swap)

Visiting the Art Gallery:
  • Advanced art students have work on display in the 200 building gallery.
  • We will visit in two groups for roughly half the period each.
  • You will choose two art works to compare.
  • Use the note taking sheet I provided you with to record your thinking.
(Absent? Get the note taking sheet HERE and choose two works of art you find online HERE. You can also ask Mr. Wells nicely if you can visit the art gallery before the end of this week.)

Essay:
  • Use your notes about the two art pieces to craft a clear, three paragraph, comparison essay. There is a suggested outline on the back of your note-taking sheet.
  • Essays are due in class on Monday, 2/11/19. Turn it in on paper. You can type or hand write your essay.
Catch Up:

  • Did you complete your Article of the Week from 2/1? Directions HERE.
  • Yesterday we ran out of time for the video activity. You can still do that HERE.
  • Start working on your essay comparing the two paintings you took notes on.
