Today in Art History 03/06/20

Kia ora all,


Let's catch up first of all.

How are we going as people: one good thing, one tricky thing, how are we feeling about the theories now?

We'll catch up on the presentations I missed out at the end of last week due to time constraints.

Then we'll share the research made over the week into specific principles relating to the theories.
[I am sooo impressed with the rigour of the research so far]

Then looking at some exemplars:
(remember the NZQA ones are just a section of what the student would have submited)
Theories:
N, -NZQA exemplar. Scroll to the bottom for this one
M, -scroll down for this one. You can choose low or high m.
E - NetNZ student. Low excellence but it did enough to get there.

Texts
N -NZQA exemplar. Scroll to the bottom for this one
M - NZQA exemplar. Scroll for this one. You can choose low or high m
E- Mid E. NetNZ student (Note that this student's assignment was for Texts and Arguments which is different to the Theories and Texts that you will be asked to focus on)

Then make notes about the exemplar here. Why do you think it got the grade it did. What did they focus on. What could they do better?

Perhaps a bit of time knowledge building in the Padlet? What can you add to our group discussion? This is all about building our ideas up over time. It should be starting to look like a tree of ideas with lots of branches growing. What have you learnt over the week? Add this. What can you add to someone else's posts. Add your ideas there. Do you have new questions. Add these. Could you answer someone else's question? Add your ideas there.

Our next step will be to research art works and how theories impact on/relate to them. I have a list of suggested artworks here. You could also choose your own, but you would need to justify how they relate to the theory. Much like the values research, you will research at least two art works. For each artwork you will research two principles from a theory and how they have impacted on or relate to the art work. We'll make a start today and then share back our findings about an art work and a principle that relates to it next Wednesday.

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 ...

 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...
