After the quiz we discussed the expectations for the Interpersonal. (Please pick up a rubric for the Interpersonal task from me if you were absent.)

Students then tried to identify different artworks based on their knowledge of the artists' styles. (This Power Point is a great practice for the upcoming art quiz and can be found on MOODLE!)

Finally, the Presentational task rubric was passed out. We will go through this more next class. (Please pick up a rubric from me if you were absent.)

Study for art/artist/museum quiz

el 14/17 de febrero

Today we took notes on Picasso (AC p. 10 - Notes on Moodle) and then we made our own works of art in Picasso's style through using the website www.picassohead.com. (AC p. 19) We then critiqued our own work of art and another student's work of art, then compared the two works of art. (AC p. 20).

The assignment for next class is to create an original work of art based on the styles of one of the artists we have studied. (Pick up handout with specific directions from me.) This is to be an original, NOT a copy of the artist's own works.

Also note: The ART / ARTIST / MUSEUM quiz has been moved UP to February 20/21.

Today we practiced using saber and conocer as well as demonstrative adjectives through several partner activities.

We then did a practice quiz on the four artists we have studied so far, as well as a listening activity on four works of art we have not studied. Students tried to discern which work of art that was being described by listening to a description in Spanish. (The practice quiz is AC p. 23)
