Concluding our assignment..
Congratulations! Now you know more about the Impressionism era and some of its prominent artists! This era is a huge turning point in art history. Out of it came post-impressionism, art nouveau, the fauves, cubism, and surrealism. The impressionism painters realized that art isn't just about painting religious icons that are perfectly rendered and constructed, but that art can be so much more. For them, painting became "impressions of paintings." They weren't striving to paint perfectly rendered and constructed objects, but to give the impression of the object. I hope you enjoyed researching your chosen artist, and that you learned a bit more about the impressionism era. If you guys are interested in studying more about the impressionism era, check out the link below.

Webquery Process
Students! Here is the next part of your Webquery assignment.
The Process..
When we conduct research, it can be difficult to know where to start. The best way to start is to ask yourself some questions..
1. Where should I start?
2. Can the task be broken down into smaller tasks?
3. Where can I find the information to answer "who, what, when, where, and why" of my chosen artist?
4. What can I tell about the quality of these web resources? (Hint: Using Wikipedia probably isn't a good idea..)
5. Are these facts or opinions?
6. How can the info I find be arranged to be useful and adapting the elements and principles of art and design?
7. Will a concept map help? (I highly recommend this!)
8. Is something missing? Do I have enough information to fill my projects needs?
9. What is the best way to use the information I have to complete the task?
10. Did I check the rubric to make sure nothing is missing? (Refer to the "Task" post.)
Students, you do not need to answer these and turn them in. These are just questions for you to ask yourself while you are completing the project. I want you to be SUCCESSFUL! Don't rush this, take your time. Like I said before, write more than once, edit, think about the project. I find it helpful to have peers look at the rough draft and edit, and of course, you can always come to me for feed back!

Webquery Task
IMPRESSIONISM: "Impressions of Paintings"
Students, here is the Task for this assignment.
Task: Your assignment is to pick a painter from the list at the bottom and find out the following information...
Who is the artist? (Just the name.)
What did this artist accomplish during the Impressionistic era? (This is where you find at least two paintings by the artist and find out some information about the painting. This information can be almost anything!)
When did this artist create? (Just the years, nothing more.)
Where did this artist create their work? (Where did they live? Did they paint outside? Did they paint in the studio?)
Why did this artist paint? (The answer is sometimes simple and sometimes complicated. Do the best you can at finding this information.)
After you have done the research, you will condense the information into one of the following final products:
1. A brochure (No pre-made ones, hand drawn and laid out. Or, if you have the resources, you can design one on the computer.)
- Fill the pages! Lots of Images!
- 3 folds, all sides filled.
2. A trifold poster. (Come and see me for one, I will have them available in the classroom for students to take home.)
- The poster must be Full! No blank spots and LOTS of images!
- Think about the elements and principles of art. How you arrange the information can make it or break it!
3. A hand bound book. (Remember when we did these at the beginning of the year when learning about Japanese hand bound books? If you forgot how, come see me. I will give you a refresher. Also, for the materials, come see me. I will have them for you.)
- Pages must be full! Use lots of images! No print out of words, I would like these hand written. This could be a good assignment to practice the calligraphy we learned earlier in the year.
- No less than 5 pages.
4. A video. (If you have the resources.)
- This is pretty open ended. Just make sure to keep it ABOUT the artist. Try to keep it short as well, don't go over 10 minutes and no less than 5 minutes.
If you have any awesome ideas that you think would work for this assignment, come see me! We will talk it over.
Do rough drafts before the final product. Usually your first idea isn't your best idea. Do sketches, write things out more than once, edit. Make them look as best as you can! You are always welcome to show me rough drafts for feed back.
