Our VC today 06/05

So the plan for today will go as follows:

How are we doing as humans?

  • What is a good thing in our lives this week?
  • What is a tricky thing?

OK, a bit of time to do some meta-cognitive reflection (this is edu-speak for reflecting on how you are going as a student curator)

How did you get on with the goals you set (what you would like to develop in terms of thinking dispositions?
How have you grown as a student?
Is your goal still the same?
Or is there something new you would like to work on?

Any questions about the values and arguments assignment?

A bit of collaboration about how values impact on representations of the human form. [sidebar: The work you contribute here could feed into your assignment due at the end of the week.]
How to proceed:
What are your thoughts about how values impact on the portrayal human form?
To what extent do values influence this?

Respond to others if you agree
Post a counter point if you don't quite agree with someone or you think they've missed an important point.
Add resources links as a comment in my resources post.



Next module we will be looking at theories and how they impact on art.
First of all what is a theory?
We will be investigating Humanist and Neoplatonist theory as a research team. This will be assessed against the texts (4 credits) and theories (4 credits) standards. Theories involves showing understanding of how theories impacted on Art. Texts involves showing understanding of texts about art. Due date is TBD, as I need to double check on the length of this term. I am working on the assignment doc for this, as I need to rejig some aspects of it.

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...
