04/11 VC outline

LAST OFFICIAL VC 


Oh my goodness. How on earth is it November already?



This VC brings us to the last official class gathering. 

Here is a link to our exam tutorial timetable so that you have it handy.


How are we all in general? What's happening in your world and is anything on top for you?

On this note I think it would be good to acknowledge this. Have a think about this year. Over the year how have you grown (as a student and art historian). What is one thing that you will take with you as you embark on the next part of your life journey as adults/university students (if you are going straight into tertiary study).


Also think about something you do do to farewell the class. This could be a few words in the VC or a post in our Google Community.



I've set up a kahoot just to reinforce some of those key stylistic terms and meanings from the Renaissance.


Then we'll have a bit of a share of the research that we've been doing. Did you know that explaining ideas to others helps to consolidate them in your brain?

Meanings

Style


2016  - go to slide 51 - Some of my students in 2016 found this exam tough as they had art works come up that were out of the box for what they'd looked at in the revision period.

For style what will you do if you are present with less familiar artworks? 

- We'll pick a year at random, and have a look at the Late Ren resource images

Let's brainstorm some ideas using the whiteboard in Zoom.

There are a few tricks you can use from your body of knowledge.


Meanings practice.

Choose a meaning you would like to work on. You'll find my recommended writing structure for the meanings exam. There will also be two art works relating to the question. Remember that for meanings you can subtitute one or both art works with artworks of your own choice (of the Renaissance)..


OK. To wrap up, what is important for you to focus on as we move into exam leave?

What would be helpful for you? (i.e. how can your teacher best help you). Remember I am available for tutorials, one on one calls, feedback on your revision, feedback on practice responses, someone to bounce ideas off of, and more. Just ask, I am available to help right up the day of your exam.

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...
