a 2 3 paragraph summary

/in /by

The best way we learn is by accessing information in multiple ways; creating art, or in this case- recreating art is a perfect example of deeper learning. By investigating into a smaller set of works (4), and creatively thinking of how you can recreate the works- you are accessing multiple learning styles and multiple intelligences. Years from now, I bet you will definitely remember when you had an assignment where you had to re-create artwork at home with every day items, sometimes even our families and pets!

************

For this Assignment, we will be revisiting the Getty Challenge! This is a two part assignment; part 1 is creating the images, writing the summary and uploading here; part 2 is posting some images onto the Discussion board.

Part 1: The Assignment

Requirements for your Assignment

(If you need a refresher on the Getty Challenge, refer back to Discussion 4.)

  • You must select 4 thematic chapters from the textbook and recreate 4 artworks in the Getty challenge style.

  • You may choose artworks from our text book OR from the Getty Museum. BUT- the artwork must fall under the required categories as noted above.

  • Replicate the image with yourself, your pets, family, or other household elements.
