What to do over the week05/08-12/08/derived grade exam prep

Good prep for the exams will be to practice using the writing structures I have set up
Start with meanings, then using the same artworks have a go at writing a style and context response. (steps for style and the steps for contexts)

I have set up the knowledge forum external views to brainstorm around the key styles, meanings and contexts you need to know about. This will also be useful prep for you.

Here are the key areas for each exam. I would recommend pulling out the artworks we have studied and brainstorming which styles, meanings and context they fit with.

Styles:
MannerismIdealisationRegional Styles (Florentine, Venetian, Roman)
NaturalismClassicism

Meanings: 
  • Christian stories and themes, the life and role of saints
  • People, everyday life, ideas about the individual, portraiture
  • Classical themes, Neoplatonism and humanism
  • Exploration of science and nature.
Contexts:
  • Religious contexts (e.g. Christianity, art and architecture as a setting for Christian rituals)
  • Philosophical contexts (e.g. Humanism, Neo-Platonism)
  • Economic contexts (e.g. patronage, wealth and status, banking, maritime and trading networks)
  • Political Contexts (e.g. powerful families, government, civic, imperialist and papal power)
  • Social Contexts (e.g. social hierarchies, domestic life, role of women)

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...

Our Google Meet 21/02/19

21/02/19 Admin: Have we got set up with our netnz address yet? Here is  a guide for how to do it  and here is a  video  I recorded of setting up my netnz to forward to my regular mailbox, so I don't have to keep track of 2 emails. Sorry I was figuring out how to do it while I was recording, so please be patient I did get there in the end. You will need the netnz address primarily to access the Google+ community (Google will make it so that you can only access a community if you are from the same education domain as the owner e.g. netnz). How I'm organising my blog. As a research team which area of art history do we want to focus on? We need to pick whether we want to focus on Late Renaissance or Early Modernism as a group. We'll discuss this as a class. Getting to know each other.  Review  the work that we've done so far. Where in the world. Explain your location to the class and why you identify ...

Our Google Meet this week.

I would like to start using screencastify to record our google meets so that we can refer back to discussion if that is ok with you. I would keep them in a google drive folder that is accessible just to us. Today's recording in particular would be shared with my HoD who appraises my teaching each year. Today will be a bit admin-y as there is a bit to cover in terms of what we need to be working towards NCEA wise. Starting with what's on top for us . What is happening in our worlds and where we are at with our research into the values.  Please share some interesting discoveries and how they have helped your understanding of the big picture.  What has been helpful for you (on the website, on KF or some other sources?  (NB - when you click on the link, scroll down to the red padlet). We will then spend a bit of time adding to Knowledge Forum . This could be adding research you have been  doing as a note. Or new questions that have come up after doing research...
