Welcome to Art History

Kia ora,
Welcome to our community of art historians. I hope that you have a year that excites and challenges you.

A few bit and pieces to be focusing on to get yourself set up well for the year.

In our google community (which you will be invited to join shortly) can you make a couple of posts
1. Introduce yourself. Who are you? What is important to you? And what are your interests outside of school? Try to post a picture with this that either shows what is important to you or what your interests are.

2. What is on your reading/viewing list. In the community post images of the last three books you read and a short blurb of why they were interesting, or why we might want to read them

3. Post 2 truths and a lie about yourself (without giving away which is which).

I'll try to lead the way with examples in the community

We will build on these tasks in class, so it is important that you do these before Thursday next week (7th Feb). 

There will be a focus on developing connections as a community in the first few weeks, as this course is discussion based and it is important that we are working well as a team.

Aside from that a few technical things to be on top of:

Please save https://netnzl3arthistorians.blogspot.com/ https://ah3netnz.weebly.com/ and https://plus.google.com/communities/111941673671997093518 to your bookmarks as you will be using these frequently! Take the time to familiarise yourself with the class sites and where everything is kept.

There will also be a NetNZ student profile for you to work through in the first few weeks. Your eDean will share this with you and hopefully walk you through this. Once you have completed these we can set up a one-to-one interview with me. If you did the profile last year, it will be a case of just updating it.

That's all for now. See you in class

Art History VC 21/10/20

 As always we will catch up with how we are and what is on top for us We'll have a go with Socrative . I've got a quiz set up about meanings. Let me know how you like it as a revision tool. We will have a chat about our strong and weak points, which artists do we need to look at as a class? Which meanings do we need to look at more closely, now that we have researched some of the Mannerists and Venetians? Then we'll   continue with our group research to cover off the artists and meanings we need to look at - we'll show and tell what we've found out, then select a new artist with the plan of sharing back to the class next week. You should research through the lens of the exams you are preparing for (What are the key meanings? How do you know? What influenced those meanings?) Here is a bit of a presentation looking at Mannerism and Venetian painting . Keep in mind that not all the artists mentioned here are in NZQA's Late Renaissance prescription. Here is a contex...

Our VC 05/08

As you come into the call can you please sign in then add to: What is on top? KF - externals style KF - externals meanings KF - externals context We will keep coming back to these to build up our knowledge base for externals. This is your chance to build up some resources that you can draw upon if you are surprised by the exam question. We will focus on building on our ideas to ask 'why' and 'how', as this will support M and E level thinking. Knowledge Building is a good approach for this as it much easier to ask these questions in the context of a conversation. Madison and Hazel's questions are a really good example of this.  By special request, we will play a Kahoot or two. Let me know which revision tools you find helpful and I can plan around this. Building on our Mannerist research . What kind of questions do we have about Mannerism? Writing a meanings response  - We will have a go at planning out a meanings response. During the week leading ...

 Kia ora all, How are we all? -to some of you For those of you who are working on the internal and not sitting the art history external/s this week is a natural ending point to your course with the assignment being due on Friday. My grand plan is to get marking sorted this weekend so that my moderator has all of the holidays to look at your work. All going well I should have marks back to you in week one of term four. Online courses can often have an abrupt ending when students go on study leave or complete their internal programme ... I wanted to give people a chance to reflect on how they've grown as a learner and the skills or mindsets they'll take with them. Add your reflection here  Maybe do this as you join the call so that you have something to do as everyone else is connecting. We'll then have a bit of meta chat about this. I'm going to poll you on how you are feeling about your work in art history (assignment or externals). I'll then open up the floor for q...
