Students will discuss the evolution of women's work from the mid-19th century to the present day and then create an artwork depicting women in contemporary times.

The students will use critical thinking skills and artistic abilities to "transform" an image into something completely different. The original images can be taken with a digital camera and printed out or cut from old magazines.

Students examine images made for newspapers and create their own photos to tell a story. They experiment with cropping to reframe their images and explore how photographic images can be manipulated.

Students create pinhole cameras to learn how artists manipulate light to make photographs. They describe and analyze a nineteenth-century photograph and use their cameras to capture the architecture of their school or other buildings.

Students will apply what they have learned about portraits in a formal writing exercise.

WELCOME

Welcome to the facilitator guide of the Mind Craft program. This is approximately an 8 week program, depending on the pace of your group. Loosely based off of popular games like SimCity and Minecraft, is a program that allows students to create their own communities and build up their society from scratch using hands on activities. Each week a task is given to them to build their society. It will start o from scratch where they have to think of tools that enable building a society, and by 8th week, they’ll have functioning buildings and rules. This program aims to touch base on skills involving art, engineering, and teamwork interaction. By the end of each session, students should have used skills involving teamwork, leadership, and creativity. This is an incremental program where students will be building on top of their project. It would be ideal to have a place to store their project as they continue growing it. It may be possible to disassemble the project if needed though.

This lesson is part of a larger project that uses a real-world scenario (sharing stories with preschool students) to motivate and teach ESL learners in an adult education program to write narratives that depict a sequence of events using temporal words. The lesson is intended to help the learners strengthen their writing skills with practice and gain a greater command of the English language for their immediate school and career goals.

SALT Beyoğlu’nda düzenlenen ars viva 2010/11 "Laboratuvar" sergisindeki temaları açıklayan bu Yorumlama Rehberi, eğitimciler ve lise öğrencileri için bir kaynakça olarak hazırlanmıştır.

Görsel sanatlarda ars viva (Yaşayan Sanat) ödülü, Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft tarafından Almanya’da yaşayan ve gelecek vaadeden genç sanatçılara, 1953’ten bu yana verilmekte. Güncel sanattaki eğilimler dikkate alınarak her yıl farklı
araştırma konuları belirleyen söz konusu ödülün, 2010 yılı için seçtiği tema “laboratuvar” oldu. Tüm seçim süreci sanat pratiğine dair sorular, özellikle de deneysel biçim ve alanlar, sanat üretiminde rastlantısal bir şekilde veya kazaen ortaya çıkanın önemi ve hata yapmanın yerine dair sorgulamalarla geçti.

Students will "read" a visual image very much like they would read words in a story.
