3. Research the history of your chosen tech item. Summarize your findings in 1-3 paragraphs and post in CANVAS by Tuesday. (25 Points)
Presentations!
1. Take notes. List the name of the presenter and the technology under study. Jot down three key points from each presentation.
2. These were the guidelines:
- Identify
the technology
- Identify
the work of art by name and artist
- Share
information about the life and times of the artist.
- Identify
the time period when the art was created
- Share
what you see. Are the colors important? Explain. Is the positioning of the
object(s) powerful? What about the shading or shadows, if any. Presence of
absence of shadowing enhances the message.
- Explain
the message from the artist. Art, like essays, shares a message
- Tell
how that message supports or refutes your stance on the topic
- Be
ready to share on Thursday. Post in CAVAS. Also, save your work on a jump
drive. (5 points will be deducted from your grade if there is down-time
because you did not save/share properly and caused a delay longer than two
minutes.) Earn 75 points for the visual and 25 points for the
presentation.
