Here are some tips for observing and describing an artwork as a group:- Take turns identifying specific areas/sections of the artwork to focus on (e.g. upper left corner, central figure, background landscape). This helps structure the discussion.- The first person should describe basic observations about shape, color, texture etc. in that section. - Subsequent students can build on those initial observations by adding more details, nuances or interpretations they notice.- Encourage using precise visual language to note even subtle details (e.g. "the figure's tunic has diagonal brushstrokes of aquamarine").- Students should refrain from evaluating or assigning meaning. Keep descriptions focused only on visual
The document provides information about an arts in education grant at the University of South Alabama. It lists the grant directors and their contact information. It notes that the grant is funded in part by a federal grant under the No Child Left Behind Act, with 53% of funding coming from federal sources and 47% from non-federal sources. The opinions and findings expressed do not necessarily reflect the policies of the funding agencies. It then provides brief biographies of two of the grant directors, Paige Vitulli and Susan Santoli, including their roles and research interests.

Produce: Production is the domain of the artist,
musician, dramatist, and dancer, and is also a role
of the student of the arts.
Respond & Understand: Responding and

being a role that all persons play as they engage
the arts intelligently, sensitively, and with a
knowledge of history, style, context, values, and
aesthetics.

11. Students read a wide range of print and non-print texts to build an understanding of texts, of themselves,
and of the cultures of the United States and the world; to acquire new information; to respond to
the needs and demands of society and the workplace; and for personal fulfillment. Among these texts are
fiction and nonfiction, classic and contemporary works.
Students read a wide range of literature from many periods in many genres to build an understanding of
the many dimensions (e.g., philosophical, ethical, aesthetic) of human experience.
Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts.They
draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, their knowledge of word
meaning and of other texts, their word identification strategies, and their understanding of textual
features (e.g., sound-letter correspondence, sentence structure, context, graphics).
Students adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions, style, vocabulary)
to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes.
Students employ a wide range of strategies as they write and use different writing process elements
appropriately to communicate with different audiences for a variety of purposes.
Students apply knowledge of language structure, language conventions (e.g., spelling and punctuation),
media techniques, figurative language, and genre to create, critique, and discuss print and non-print
texts.
12. Students conduct research on issues and interests by generating ideas and questions, and by
posing problems. They gather, evaluate, and synthesize data from a variety of sources (e.g.,
print and non-print texts, artifacts, people) to communicate their discoveries in ways that suit
their purpose and audience.
Students use a variety of technological and information resources (e.g., libraries, databases,
computer networks, video) to gather and synthesize information and to create and
communicate knowledge.
Students develop an understanding of and respect for diversity in language use, patterns, and
dialects across cultures, ethnic groups, geographic regions, and social roles.
Students whose first language is not English make use of their first language to develop
competency in the English language arts and to develop understanding of content across the
curriculum.
Students participate as knowledgeable, reflective, creative, and critical members of a variety of
literacy communities.
Students use spoken, written, and visual language to accomplish their own purposes (e.g., for
learning, enjoyment, persuasion, and the exchange of information).

14. Visual literacy is a set of abilities that enables an individual to
effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and
visual media. Images and visual media may include
photographs, illustrations, drawings, maps, diagrams,
advertisements, and other visual messages and
representations, both still and moving.Visual literacy skills
equip a learner to understand and analyze the contextual,
cultural, ethical, aesthetic, and technical components involved
in the construction and use of images and visual media. A
visually literate individual is both a critical consumer of visual
media and a competent contributor to a body of shared
knowledge and culture.

more detail about the section. A
third person elaborates further by
adding yet more detail, and a fourth
person adds yet more.

47. First, the name. We owe the name "Photography" to Sir John Herschel , who first
used the term in 1839, the year the photographic process became public. The word is
derived from the Greek words for light and writing.
There are two distinct scientific processes that combine to make photography
possible. It is somewhat surprising that photography was not invented earlier than the
1830s, because these processes had been known for quite some time. It was not until
the two distinct scientific processes had been put together that photography came into
being.
The first of these processes was optical. The Camera Obscura (dark room) had been
in existence for at least four hundred years. There is a drawing, dated 1519, of a
Camera Obscura by Leonardo da Vinci; about this same period its use as an aid to
drawing was being advocated.
The second process was chemical. For hundreds of years before photography was
invented, people had been aware, for example, that some colors are bleached in the
sun, but they had made little distinction between heat, air and light.

aspect of the culture, politics or economy of World War and Its Aftermath. It covers
the years 1914-1929. You may make some references to the war, but do not
make that the primary focus of your book. Instead focus on the home front and
the period of the 1920s. We viewed a primary document titled, ABCs for Baby
Patriots, a story book for British children that glorified the British Empire. Your
assignment is to produce a similar ABC book focusing on this era. Have fun
with this. Let your imagination run wild!
Specifics:
Your book may be a hard copy or in digital format
You must select an aspect of European life or a particular country as a focus
for the book
You must have one page per letter of the alphabet.
There must be at least one visual on the page for each letter.
Your book must have a cover with the title and your name as author.
Your book must be attractive and free of spelling and grammar errors.
Additional points may be earned for rhyming, original art work, special

87. ”It is unclear exactly when humans first starting using masks,
but there is evidence of them even in prehistoric cave art.
There are numerous styles of masks around the world, and
they are used for a variety of purposes. Most began with a
religious, ritualistic, and/or social purpose. Some masks are
considered to be alive and possess great power, whereas
others may mark a rite of passage, such as that from childhood
to adulthood. Some funerary masks are used to help the spirit
find the correct body, and others are meant to keep the spirit
from possessing the body. In contemporary western society,
masks are commonly used in role playing for theatrical or
holiday festivities. The purposes of masks are numerous, but
the human need for them is perhaps universal.”
