21/03 Today in Art History

Kia ora team,
Checking in with each other. We will spend a few minutes talking about what is happening in our worlds. We are working as a research team, and it really helps to bridge the distance if we get to know each other on a human level.

Admin: Need to join the google+ community with your NetNZ address by the end of March, or you will lose access to this in April due to new Google rules about Google+ (It is becoming education only and you need to be from the same school domain)
Also I need to set up one to one interviews with those who haven't done this yet. This is really important from my perspective, as it helps me to find out more about you as a student and how I can best support you.

Sharing, what resources have you found useful over the last week.

Today in Art History we will be sharing our research with the group (in whatever state it is currently in).
In the Google Slide we present our findings ( I will try to make a screenrecording that we can refer back to). We will also write a 'rise-above' statement (I will explain what this is.) about what we have learnt, we will also collate any questions that we have arising from our research. You'll notice that I have put questions that I have about my question in the speaker's notes under the slide, you could do this or make a note of them somewhere.

We will chat about the Andrew Graham Dixon documentary episode 'The pure radiance of the past', what did you notice, what did you learn?

In Knowledge Forum, we will check out what has been built on in the Renaissance and Values view.
We will then make a few posts:
-What did you find helpful from your research over the past week or so, and how has your understanding improved?
-What questions do you now have about the Renaissance? What do you need to understand or explore more? Make one post per question/idea that needs to be examined more.

We are then going to have a chat about some specific artworks which you will find in knowledge forum on the Renaissance Values view. We will investigate them as a group over the week. Suggested resources include the renaissance movies page on our class site, (particularly the andrew graham dixon documentaries), the late renaissance page on our class site (you will find pdfs inside the google drive folders on this page), and of course feel free to investigate other resources.

Our focus will be on how apparently contrasting Classical values and Christian values are shown in these artworks. I will explain this more in class. I look forward to seeing you all this afternoon.

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 ...

Art History VC 23/09/20

 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...
