Create a Popplet about how art relates to Technology, Environmental Sustainability and the Preservation of Cultures. (This is one of your Essential Standards)
Here is an example of how one student completed this goal: http://popplet.com/app/#/1003842 (This is an EXCELLENT popplet!)
Popplet is free and easy to use!
Use the internet to research each of these topics.
Start your popplet like this:
Then add more popplets as you research each topic to develop your completed topic. Popplets can contain pictures and text!
Here is a doodle to help you develop your popplet:
Your elaborating popplets should support, explain and defend your example. They should “spell out” how each of your 9 specific examples relates to art.
Estimated time: 1 hour for Technology, 1 hour for Environmental Sustainability, 1 hour for Preservation of Cultures.
At the end of day 1, post a link to your popplet on your blog (if you do not blog, post link on Edmodo). Each day, update your link.
Self Check Question:
Did my elaborating popplets support, explain and defend how the example I chose relates to art?
Your popplets should “spell out” how each of your 9 specific examples relates to art.

Have you completed this assignment before? build your blog by adding another, different artist debate. This is only an option if you have debated Arne Svenson previously and posted about it on your blog.
Assignment: What do you think?
This 2013 photography exhibit was quite controversial! It was discussed on the news and was written about in the news paper USA Today. 1. Read the article from USA Today, here is the ad-free PDF version: Arn Svenson controversy. Here are 4 of the works:
DO NOT discuss your opinions with your classmates. I am interested to hear what each of you has to say on your own. 2. Copy and Paste to a Word doc or your Blog, then Answer the following questions: What is the subject/topic of Arne Svenson’s work? What do you think he is trying to say to people who view his work? In other words, what is his message? Did Arne Svenson invade the subject’s privacy? Why or why not? If yes, how might he have communicated his message differently? Now that people are upset, Should he be forced to remove his work? Why or why not? What about the work that has already been sold? Click here to view another controversial series by Arne Svenson: Unspeaking Likeness What is this artwork about? What role did the forensic artist play in this series? Why do you think he created this series? How is what he has done as a photographer different than what the forensic artist did? Is this his art? Should he get credit for it? Why or why not? Why do you think it is controversial? What “2 sides” might someone argue about this work?

Hello Students!
I am sorry I am not able to be with you today. I am experiencing some pain, I might have a stomach ulcer 😦
Please be nice to your substitute Mrs. Smith. You will be completing an Art Debate today and posting it to your blog. You can copy/paste the questions. Most of the answers are your opinion, so you need to back it up with statements about why you think what you do. You will be looking at 2 series of work by the same artist Arne Svenson. The debate is posted below. If you finish early (and you have done a good job), then you can play on Pixlr.com or Bomomo.com…try creating a digital painting. Add your creations to your blog.
See you soon,
Ms. P 🙂
How to Participate in Critique

How to Participate in Critique
1. Provide thorough feedback. No 1 or 2 liners.
2. Your feedback should be specific and use correct art vocabulary. Avoid phrases like “I like…” or “I don’t like…” Do not use words such as “ugly” or “pretty.”
A personal opinion on art does not make it good or bad. There are many great works of art that I do not like, it doesn’t mean that the work is “bad art.” It is good art, that I happen not to like.
You can provide much more valuable feedback if you offer specific suggestions. Point out strengths, weaknesses, and alternative solutions. Examples of comments you might make:
The lines on the left side of the work are faded. The work is right heavy. You could darken the lines on the left to increase the contrast and balance the work.
3. Finally, try to avoid being defensive about your work. When someone makes a suggestion about your work, you do not have to agree with it. You should not, however, lash out at it. When you react defensively, it stifles open discussion. When people make suggestions for your artwork, it is not a negative reflection of you as an artist. They can offer different ways of resolving the problem. You may not take their suggestion, but it may lead you to think of your image differently. It is not necessary to respond to everyone’s feedback. Sometimes it is best to just listen.

Use scale to create visual interest in the photos you take. Objects close to you appear larger than distant objects.
