Students research, evaluate, and synthesize information about the Harlem Renaissance from varied resources, create an exhibit, and highlight connections across disciplines (i.e., art, music, and poetry) using a Venn diagram.
This is a unit that I have used for introducing students to the four step process for critiquing art work. I like to use this critique with their design project to reinforce their learning for using the Language of Art. The description (see) part of the activity works well with requiring the students to "Think" about what Elements of Art they used in their design. They are then required to determine how the elements are organized using the Principles of Design.
In this effort from YouCubed at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, the Indigenous Mathematics Educators Group shares new teaching resources for Indigenous art that is beautifully mathematical. Having students notice and wonder about this art can help them learn about mathematics, art, and Indigenous cultures. Resources include Indigenous mathematical art and lessons with questions to guide mathematical discussions.
