TECHNOLOGY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

I was asked to do a technology workshop on February 17th for principals, lead teachers and media coordinators regarding the use of technology tools in the classroom.  The following Tuesday I was asked to do basically the same workshop for teachers from East Columbus High School and their feeder schools.  Below is a photograph of me leading the workshop in the cafeteria.  The information that I presented was uploaded to a blog that is now online for all county employees to use

FINAL EXAM

Your Final Exam consists of five parts.  Make sure you submit everything to me at the end of the testing period.  Each part will count as 20 points and the total will be worth 100 points.

PART ONE:

Look carefully at the painting above. It was created by a very interesting artist.  Write a critique about the painting. Be sure to include elements and principles of art. Also tell me your feelings about the painting.  What do you see in the painting?  What do you think the artist was trying to say?  Which emotion does it evoke?  Do you think it might be symbolic of something else?   IS IT ART?
PART TWO:
Record statements about all the pieces of artwork you have created this semester.
PART THREE:
Turn in your research piece in which you compared and contrasted the lives and work of two artists.
PART FOUR:
Do the online research worksheet that I gave you.  Answers can be written on the sheet itself or on another piece of paper.
PART FIVE:
Having been recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, I have decided to work on a series of artwork about this disease and my reactions to it as it progresses.  The series will chronocle my journey, my fight, my fears and all the other emotions that I will be going through.  I will sketch out an idea or two so that you might better understand what I'm talking about.  Then I want you to decide what emotional issue in your life you might possibly do a series about.  Briefly tell me about it and then do two sketches showing me ideas for two possible ideas in your series.  The more personal the issue the better the series will be.  If you want this to be kept PRIVATE make note of it on your paper and I will not mention or show it to anyone else.
UPON COMPLETION of the exam, make sure your name if on everything before you turn it in to me.
Good luck.

P.S.
For the three girls who are in Honors, you must also turn in your multimedia presentation about the art history topic of your choice.  I'll be sure to check to see if all of your QR codes work.

GOOD LUCK!

EGYPTIAN ART

Hello Art One.  Unfortunately my advanced art students aren't quite finished with their ceramic projects so your clay unit will have to wait a few more days.  So we will go on with what I had planned for after the clay unit. We are going to be studying about Egypt and Egyptian art.  We will be using the website of an awesome artist who paints in an Egyptian style.  His name is Richard Deurer and I have actually communicated with him in the past.  Let's click on the link below in order to see how loaded his site is with all kinds of Egyptian information.

Wait for further instructions from me so that you'll know what you are to do next.
