MultiMedia Art WebPage Lesson Plan

Art for Learning, Personal Museums

 GOAL: Students will produce a virtual art museum of three ieces of art that they would like to own. The first webpage introduces their museum visually with three thumbnails images of the chosen artwork and a short paragraph explaining why they selected the particular pieces of art. Each thumbnail will link to a larger image and more informative paragraph of the artist and personal reaction to the art. They will need to use the elements and principles of art in their vocabulary.

Art Standards to be addressed:

Artistic Perception	Observing, processing, and responding to sensory information through the language and skills unique to the arts	The students will analyze three pieces of art. They will communicate their interpretations and support their conclusions using the vocabulary terms of the elements and principles of art in their content.
Historical and Cultural Context	Understanding historical contributions and cultural dimensions of art	Students identify three artworks that they like and explain the historical significance of each.
Creative Expression	Creating, performing, and participating in the Arts	Students create a webpage in which the layout and color choices demonstrate the use of the elements and principles of art.
