Today in Art History 24/06/20

How are we all?
Share one good thing, one challenging thing or one interesting thing with the class.

Sharing our research with the class. 


Art and Theory in Renaissance Italy

In response to last week, I have a presentation about ideas in neoplatonism. I have also pulled out some art works people have requested that I talk to the class about. I have tried to model to the class how to set out your ideas so that you can be sure of relating the theory to the artworks (as the theories standard requires).

Questions:

 about the theories achievement standard, the texts achievement standard, or any of the nuts and bolts of the assignment?


Knowledge Building about our theories on our padlet.
Add your useful sources to our texts padlet. What did you find helpful? How would you summarise their ideas?

Looking forward to Term 3. 


There are two options. The first would be for those who are wanting an internal only course (which would rule out a course endorsement). The media and processes assignment would be what you focus on in term 3. 

If you are focusing on externals, I would suggest choosing one to two externals to focus on as I have got a lot of milage assessment wise out of our internal assignments. Most people will finish the year with 12-16 internal credits. I am going to give a quick overview of what is involved in the externals, as I am asking you to start thinking about what you would like to do for the externals (digital or paper and next term I will get you to decide on the external papers you would like to be entered into.

If we have any time we will do some work in our knowledge building padlets. These discussions will be helpful in developing our perceptive thinking needed for excellence. You can also ask questions in the zoom chat, which I can address as they come up.


Over the week can you:

  • Research how a principle impacts on an artwork. (Depending on how speedy you have been over the term this will either be researching a second principle of the theory on your second artwork, or perhaps starting research on a third artwork and the key principles that have impacted on it)
  • Continue to contribute to the two padlets. theories and texts. This is an important step if you are aiming for a higher grade as our discussions help to develop a perceptive understanding.
  • Make sure that you have responded to the survey about your preferences for the external exams. You don't need to be sure yet about what you would like to do. I just need to get a bit of an idea in general.
  • Ask questions that you have about art history in our Google Community. It is actually really helpful to know where you are at, as it helps me to focus my planning on things that will be really useful for you. It also helps to clear up things you might have been worrying about.

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...
