Students research information on a particular contemporary artist. Students present and explain their work. Use the composition in a way that comments on, makes fun of, or extends the meaning of the original.
Students compose job descriptions for entry-level jobs within the art field.
Then they assemble small, selective portfolios of their work that would support applications for the jobs. Arrange for visitors to view the collections. They demonstrate a growing awareness of the interrelationships as they represent ideas and reflect on their work. Have students prepare brief written commentaries on each work in their portfolios, explaining why it has been included. Look for evidence that they have considered potential viewers.
