Video conference this week

I am aware that you all have your heads down writing your synthesis this week, so I have been trying to give you the space to do this.

 This week in the video conference we are going to start looking at Module 2. How do big ideas influence art. We will unpack what the assignment is going to look like and I will walk you through what the block of work in the first week of this module will cover.

 First of all, how are you, what is on top art history wise, where are your heads at?

Through writing the synthesis, have there been any aHa moments, or moments where things fell into place for you or you felt like you were making progress with your understanding? What is an example of this? What helped? - We will have a quick verbal korero about this.

 Next, I thought we would take a step back and reflect on our overall discussion approach. Follow this link to KF to add your ideas.

 While you are in KF can you please check whether you can access the individual thinking views I've set up for you. I think I've set it up so your view is private to you and I'm the only other one that can access. Please check the links to test this.

 I am then going to give you an over view of the next module, and what we need to be focusing on in the first week.

 We will spend some time looking at video sources to help us understand the big ideas and then have a chat with the class about emerging ideas. You'll have enough time to watch 5 - 8 mins worth then a couple of mins to jot down observations.

 We'll then make a start on Module One, part 1. 

We will start adding what you know about different thinkers and their ideas on Knowledge Forum using the format given in Module two, part 1. Over the week you will need to post about 3 different thinkers. If someone has posted about the same thinker as you, make your note a build-on to theirs.

 Then if we have time you can make a start on your research into a particular thinker and their big idea for your seminar next week.
Which thinker/idea are you going to present on next week? What format do you think you will use for this Google Slides, Google Docs, Prezi, a prerecorded video or something totally out of the box? Add to Google + what you plan to research

 So just to sum up and reiterate there are 2 prongs to the work during the week
-Add 3 notes on KF. Each one should cover a thinker and their ideas and give a general background in your own words.
-.Research 1 thinker and their big idea in-depth, and prepare what you will share for your seminar next week

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...
