1. Recap and continued viewing of In the Time of the Butterflies. (Discussion to follow)
Activity: Come to my wall! Take a few minutes to get your wall report ready to show. The class will be divided into two sections. When it is your turn, you will be the host and share your wall presentation with those who come to see it. When your group is finished showing, the other group will prepare the presentations, and you will be the guest in the wall museum. Take notes. You must visit at least five walls!
2. Looking at art- locate a monument, statue, picture, or other work of art that was designed as a tribute to something, someone, or an event related to war.
For example:
Take five minutes to conduct your own quick Internet search. Then, use these questions as a guide to the study and understanding of the art. Post in CANVAS. It is due on Tuesday, November 28, 2017.
Looking
at Art -
- What is the title of the work? How does the title help you to understand the message? What is the message?
- What is the most obvious image in the work. To where is your eye drawn?
- Look at the colors. Are they symbolic? Would the message be different if the colors were different? Explain.
- Study the shading and shadowing. How do these elements impact the overall message?
- Who is the artist? When was the work created? Is the artist's message about a specific event in the history of war? What was going on in the world when the work was created? Is the art universal - speaks to people of all times and in all places in all wars, or is it limited to the audience for whom it was created?
- How does the work relate war in the 20th and 21st centuries?
