- 2. Visual literacy is a set of abilities that enables an individual to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media. Images and visual media may include photographs, illustrations, drawings, maps, diagrams, advertisements, and other visual messages and representations, both still and moving.Visual literacy skills equip a learner to understand and analyze the contextual, cultural, ethical, aesthetic, and technical components involved in the construction and use of images and visual media. A visually literate individual is both a critical consumer of visual media and a competent contributor to a body of shared knowledge and culture. ~ from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) http://acrlvislitstandards.wordpress.com/2010/08/06/working- definition-of-visual-literacy/ 2
- 3. Seeing and interpreting images is a vital part of what it means to learn and know…in order to support teaching multiple literacies, students must be overtly taught to engage in and critically reflect. Crawford, S. Hicks D. and Doherty N., (2009).Worth theWAIT: Engaging Social Studies students with art in a digital age. Social Education, 73(3), 136-139. 3
- 4. Studies done by Lynn O’Brien of Specific Diagnostic Studies – students whose strongest learning channel is auditory comprise less than 15% of the population. On the other hand, students who comprise a visual learning style are about 40% of the population…kinesthetic students form around 45% of the population.” Dickinson, D. (2002). Learning through the arts. Seattle,WA: New Horizons for Learning. Retrieved from Http://www.newhorizons.org 4

- 11. As a group, observe and describe several different sections of an artwork. One person identifies a specific section of the artwork and describes what he or she sees. Another person elaborates on the first person’s observations by adding more detail about the section. A third person elaborates further by adding yet more detail, and a fourth person adds yet more. Observers: Only describe what you see. Hold off giving your ideas about the art until the last step of the routine. http://www.moma.org/explore/multi media/audios/1/4 11

- 14. What details are present in the painting?What do you feel is missing? What would you like to ask the artist about the painting? What social class do the figures represent?What supports your answer? Explain whether or not you feel this was a formally composed painting. Extension: Daumier was in prison several times for his political and social caricatures. He produced nearly 4,000 for Parisian journals. Explain the political events that were occurring in France from the 1830s through the end of the century that might have been subjects of Daumier’s political satire. 14

- 16. Give an approximate date for the time period you think is being depicted in this picture. On what details did you base your decision? What is the economic status of the family shown in the picture? On what details did you base your opinion? What are some things you might smell or hear in this picture? What mood was the artist trying to convey when he painted this picture, which was based on his childhood memories? Extension: The title of this painting is Christmas Morning Breakfast. What is occurring here that might have been a tradition in this family?What are some traditions that you have in your family that center around holidays? 16
- 17. Students will provide “many, varied, and unusual” single words to describe selected or assigned works of art. No repetition of words! The words may be dictated and recorded by the teacher on Post-it Notes or written by the students on Post-it Notes. Students will stick Post-it Notes to the laminated artwork to for all to view, respond to, and reflect upon. More than one piece of artwork may be described at a time. Students may be divided into teams for cooperative work and may compete for the quantity and/or quality of responses. Can also use the rapid fire feature of Inspiration. 17

- 21. Describe what is observed in selected works of art. Describe subject matter in works of art. Describe elements of art and principles of design. Observe, describe and identify features, similarities, and differences in artwork. Express feelings generated by a work of art. Identify and describe the historical period/event being represented in the artwork. Compare art associated with various cultures. Discriminate between actual and dramatic or romanticized portrayals of persons or events. Analyze various works of art for clues depicting time periods and places. Use technology to investigate visual images. 21
- 22. Give a title to an artwork.Write why you would call it this. If the artist were in the room, what questions would you ask him/her? Write a letter to an artist, asking questions about the artwork. Describe an abstract work of art in writing. Look at a photograph or painting and write about the “sounds” you might hear in the background. Describe how a work of art reflects and differs from real life. Tell what you think it would be like to live in this painting/drawing. Write a conversation between characters seen in a work of art (or two works of art). Imagine an artist’s show has just opened; Write a press release or review for a newspaper describing his/her artwork. 22
- 23. Look at a painting or poster, and then invent a history.Write something about how the artist was feeling when it was painted, why the curator purchased this painting, or something about the subject. Write about three works of art you would purchase if price were no object.This is the beginning of a personal art collection. Write about the choices. Collect a variety of reproductions from various historical periods (post cards, art memo cards, calendar prints, etc…). Students are provided with a random group of reproductions and assigned a specific historical period. Students trade with one another to obtain works representative of their assigned period. When the collections are complete, students arrange works and as the “curators,” and describe the show for a potential audience. Groups find several works of art that are based on a myth, historical event, or person, and then write about the events or people that inspired the works of art. 23

- 26. First, the name. We owe the name "Photography" to Sir John Herschel , who first used the term in 1839, the year the photographic process became public. The word is derived from the Greek words for light and writing. There are two distinct scientific processes that combine to make photography possible. It is somewhat surprising that photography was not invented earlier than the 1830s, because these processes had been known for quite some time. It was not until the two distinct scientific processes had been put together that photography came into being. The first of these processes was optical. The Camera Obscura (dark room) had been in existence for at least four hundred years. There is a drawing, dated 1519, of a Camera Obscura by Leonardo da Vinci; about this same period its use as an aid to drawing was being advocated. The second process was chemical. For hundreds of years before photography was invented, people had been aware, for example, that some colors are bleached in the sun, but they had made little distinction between heat, air and light. 26

- 31. This project is an opportunity for you to express your creativity while researching some aspect of the culture, politics or economy of World War and Its Aftermath. It covers the years 1914-1929. You may make some references to the war, but do not make that the primary focus of your book. Instead focus on the home front and the period of the 1920s. We viewed a primary document titled, ABCs for Baby Patriots, a story book for British children that glorified the British Empire. Your assignment is to produce a similar ABC book focusing on this era. Have fun with this. Let your imagination run wild! Specifics: Your book may be a hard copy or in digital format You must select an aspect of European life or a particular country as a focus for the book You must have one page per letter of the alphabet. There must be at least one visual on the page for each letter. Your book must have a cover with the title and your name as author. Your book must be attractive and free of spelling and grammar errors. Additional points may be earned for rhyming, original art work, special effects, or especially creative additions to be the basis book format. Your book is due to theT drive if digital, or in hard copy, at the beginning of class onThursday, April 1, 2010. 31

- 39. Find an image from each of the panels and write what you see. Discuss as a class or in student groups. Tell students that the painting imaginatively depicts a real event and ask if they know what it may be. If they say “Black Death,” ask them some things they know or believe they know about the plague. After studying the Black Death, use the painting again and ask students how the painting relates to what they’ve learned and what questions they still have about the Black Death or the painting. 39

- 66. ”It is unclear exactly when humans first starting using masks, but there is evidence of them even in prehistoric cave art. There are numerous styles of masks around the world, and they are used for a variety of purposes. Most began with a religious, ritualistic, and/or social purpose. Some masks are considered to be alive and possess great power, whereas others may mark a rite of passage, such as that from childhood to adulthood. Some funerary masks are used to help the spirit find the correct body, and others are meant to keep the spirit from possessing the body. In contemporary western society, masks are commonly used in role playing for theatrical or holiday festivities. The purposes of masks are numerous, but the human need for them is perhaps universal.” From:University of Missouri-Columbia Museum of Anthropology 66
