ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL IDEAS:

Viewing / Reading: ●​ Invite students to explore the curation and presentation of art both in person and virtually through visual examples. ●​ Use a variety of examples from different time periods, cultures, purposes, and media. ●​ Have students find and read multiple examples of artists statements and analyze how the artists descriptions enhance interactions with the art.

Writing: ●​ Students will draft and revise artist statements. ●​ Students keep journals to note their responses to artwork in different presentation contexts.

Speaking / Listening : ●​ Lead students in verbal responses and discussions about art presentations. ●​ Have students engage in question and answer sessions with artists as they verbally present artist statements for their work. Inquiry: ●​ Have students consider the question - “What is the purpose of public art?” Based on their responses, develop a plan of where art could be displayed in a community setting and what types of art would best fit that venue. ●​ Curate class-created art around a theme. ●​ Have students consider a cross-curricular art project and plan what the art would look like, who would contribute to it, and how it would be displayed.
