Investigating

Students are asked to investigate an artwork or art movement connected to the statement of inquiry.

Students are asked to investigate ideas around found objects and how they can be used to communicate/express ideas in art.

Global Context - Personal and Cultural Expression

Statement of Inquiry: Understanding the elements of art and form helps artists express ideas

Inquiry Questions

Factual - What does 'found object' in art look like? What is assemblage art? What specific examples of found objects are most effective in assemblage art?

Conceptual - What is the meaning of assemblage art and found objects? How do artists select and combine found objects to convey a specific message?

Debatable - Assemblage art is similar to sculpture

TASK 1:

JOURNAL RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT

Dear Students,

Once we have discussed the inquiry questions as a class, please use your process journal to express ideas about typography and how artists use text in their artworks to communicate and express ideas.

You must be able to justify how your investigation is connected to the big ideas in the unit.

This task is to be completed in the process journal and should include a lengthy investigation. A formative feedback session and a peer review are needed before you hand in your final assignment and before the summative grading. Please see your due dates.
