Entry-Level Formative Summative

Survey (using SurveyMonkey) The topic of the survey will be: What is
Art? This will address students prior knowledge about art. (Definitions,
types, etc.) (Student Learning Objective 1)


Quickwrite What is Art? Define art, & provide 5 different forms and examples to support your definition(s). This will assess
that students understand different definitions of art, as well as different forms of art (Student Learning Objective 1).

Graphic Organizer (Popplet) Create a graphic organizer (using Popplet) based off of a given artwork & artist that
utilizes technology in some way. (This will be the artwork that will be the focus for the presentation later, and the inspiration
for the project). Use it to organize your thoughts and words in analyzing the work of art and exploring the artistic link to
technology; it will also be used to organize information pulled from research. Completion of this Popplet will provide evidence
of student learning with regards to understanding how technology plays a role in art & student analysis of how materials affect
the meaning of a work of art. (Student Learning Objectives 2, 3, & 4)

Questions These will be based off of the topic of technology & art. They will be based on the following within the art
context: technology as a subject, technology as a tool, & technology as a medium. Questions will also address the topic of
technology linking to the modern art world. (Student Learning Objectives 2 & 3)

Critique This will be conducted orally, midway through completing the project (group artwork ideas/thumbnails will be
critiqued, & may not be finalized at this point; see Project on the right, below). Students will critique in a modified carousel
fashion. They will each formulate & support a position on the aesthetic value (focusing on materials) and meaning of a group-
proposed artwork (See Project & Project document on website for more detail). They may offer advice, note strengths, and
note weaknesses thus far in the proposed artwork. Then, after each student has contributed a statement of their own, they
will change or defend their position based on the consideration of other students viewpoints. (based off of Content Standards
4.3 & 4.5) (Student Learning Objective 4)

Collaborative Presentation & Project (Student Learning Objectives 1, 2, 3, & 4)
Presentation: Student groups will create a presentation (using Prezi) that will focus on an artist &
particular artwork that utilizes technology (whether it is as a subject matter, tool, medium, etc.).
In their presentation, they will include a brief bio of the artist, how they use technology, present
an artwork, provide info on the artwork, and analyze the artwork (materials & meaning).
Creating the presentation will involve researching contemporary artists. Once presented to the
class, students will be exposed to different forms of art, as the various artists & artwork
redefine art.
