Project Overview: This project, which will take place throughout the four weeks of this module, has you working with one of your classmates. The two of you will decide on an artist you would like to research. You will then create your own questions which you will research in order to create a presentation. You will also design your own art critique which you will use to critique a work of art created by your artist.
This information will be presented through Prezi (there is information about this presentation tool on the Technology Resources page). Research notes can be taken either through a wiki, GoogleDocs, or NoodleTools--these programs will allow you and your partner to work on the same document at the same time without having to share numerous files (more information can be found on the Technology Resources page). You will need to use at least 6 sources during your research process and all need to be cited using APA. Remember when using images, those will need to be cited and given credit as well.
Information about grading can be found on the Project Assessment page. On the overview page of each week, benchmarks will be provided in order to help you see if you are on track.
