Today in art history 27/05/20

As always starting with what is on top for us as humans. What is happening in your world?

Then what is on top for you as an art historian? What are your key finds over the week and what are your emerging questions?

Then we will spend some time knowledge building on our theories padlet. What have you found out? What are you curious to find out? Which questions or ideas on the padlet could you build on?

We will spend a bit of time investigating the starter docs, then interpreting the theory in our own words

We'll spend a bit of time sharing the research we did during the week. You should be able to screen share, but sometimes this can be glitchy at the student end of things, so it would be good if you could share your link with me so that I can screen share for you if needed. I have some people's links already. When you share your link, just double check your share settings, make sure it is viewable to me.


We're then going to spend some time researching specific principles of the theories. You will pick an aspect of a theory and investigate it in depth. I have some resources to get you started but you can and should use your own research resources too. This will be your main work over the week, as well as spending some time in building knowledge in the investigating theories Padlet.
For Humanism we're thinking about:

  • eloquence
  • civic virtue
Virtuous actions in the forms of
  • courage (physical and moral), 
  • temperance (or stoicism: pacify excess, self
  • indulgence and extravagance), 
  • justice, 
  • wisdom,

  • The Dignity of Man



For Neoplatonism we're thinking about:

  • Platonic love
  • The dual nature of love
  • Ideal beauty/divine beauty
  • Two world theory (Inner/Outer Worlds - relates to the theory of forms)
  • The hypostases (The One, Nous, The World Soul)

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...
