YOU TUBE selection DUE Wedneday, March 19, 2014

What do I need to do for the You TUBE selection portion?

1. Go to Youtube.com
2. Watch several video on your artist.
3. Which video did you find most interesting? This would likely be a good video to share with the class. Share it with your group and collaborate on all your top picks. Select ONE as a group. Write down the title, length and web address for your video and turn in to Ms. Moore no later than March 19 at the beginning of class.
4. You will present this video as the first 10 min. or so of your artist presentation.

Yup. That was easy...

Here is an example of a good Youtube video on Alexander Calder:

Artist Group Presentation....Be an art teacher for a day

1. As a group, select an artist from the given list.
2. Go to youtube.com and search for a biography or slideshow on your artist. This video clip will be used to begin your art lesson and should be under 10 min.
3. Create an interactive online Popplet with your group at popplet.com. Your group popplet must include everything on the Popplet rubic.
4. Write a biography on your artist following the rubric.
5. Create a PowerPoint on your artist to preset to the class. The PowerPoint must include all of the gathered information thus far.
6. Select an art project or assigbment to teach the class to help them understand your given artist. BE CREATIVE!
7. Organize your art lesson and decide who is going to do what, when and how. EVERYONE in your group must participate as equally as possible in the presentation and preparation.
8. Select a date to become art teachers on an art history FRIDAY day. Present. Rock it. Teach it!

HINTS on working in a group:


1. Assign positions within your group based on ability and skills.

• LEADER: this person is the organizer of the group. He/she will check and review the work and ensure everything is handed in on time. This person is NOT to do the majority of the work, but is instead in charge that everyone is working and that assignments are getting done.
• WRITER: this person would be in charge of the biography. This person should NOT be doing the biography on their own but would be the one to organize and type the information.
• POPPLET EXPERT: this person is in charge of creating the popplet.
• ART PROJECT COORDINATOR: this person is in charge of the project to present to class
• POWERPOINT COORDINATOR: this person(s) is in charge of the powerpoint.
• LEAD TEACHER: this person guided the entire art lesson presentationl

NOTE: With a limit of 4 in a group, you will need to decide how to fairly allocate each position:)
