Connecting

Enduring Understanding-

Through art-making, people make meaning by investigating and developing awareness of perceptions, knowledge, and experiences.

Make an artwork about a place that has importance to you. Make connections by investigating why this place has significance and how you will represent that visually.

Connecting

Visual Journal

You will draw, collage, and write and create about a place of your choice.

Bring in pictures, ideas, materials, objects to help you connect and make meaning.

Your journal will be used to help you with your project

Creating

You will draw and then paint your place. You can use tempera guache or watercolor paint. You can choose your own style and experiment

Presenting

Enduring Understanding

Objects, artifacts, and artworks collected, preserved, or presented either by artists, museums, or other venues communicate meaning and a record of social, cultural, and political experiences resulting in the cultivating of appreciation and understanding.

You will display your Place or Identity project in December. You can choose your best work or choose to display both.
