Activity: Students will draw objects from their home or school. Students will use this website http://www.artkids.co.uk/chest.htm# as a guide for drawing figures. Once learning basic steps from the site students are to complete one drawing in class of objects from around their home or school. After the assignment is complete they can further explore the site and complete extra activities.

Students will select appropriate references for depicting people and objects.

ICT Learner Outcomes:

C.4.2.3 Reflect on and describe the processes involved in completing a project

C.6.2.1 Select and use technology to assist in problem solving

F.4.2.2 Describe how the use of various texts and graphics can alter perception

Computer Integration:

Digital art is becoming a widely used tool for art making. By directing the students to a site that will be helpful for drawing, they can also use this site to practice drawing and creating art on the computer. This also gives students additional explanation and direction of the basic elements of drawing that they can review at their own time. It will also assist in extra help when the teacher is unavailable.

Assignment 2 Power Point Presentation

Introduction

My name is Marissa. I graduated from the UofL with a major in fine art. I have a passion and appreciation for art history. I've decided that I love school so much that I'm back for 2 more years to get my education degree so that I can teach art to kids. I've lived and traveled all over the world but there are still so many places I still want to see. My goal is to continue traveling and teach art along the way.

Growing up with technology being incorporated into everyday life I've certainly had some good experiences as well as bad. Mainly my frustrations come from not knowing how to use the technology and being nervous to break it (because that is what seems to happen every time I touch technology!) The first time I ever made a power point presentation in high school I think I tried to save it to a floppy disk (clearly I had no idea what I was doing) and didn't try it out on any other computer to make sure it worked before I gave my presentation. So of course I got to school, went to set everything up and the power point failed to work. I was in such a panic that I was going to fail the assignment because I had to present without any visual aid that the speech was a disaster. From that day on I ALWAYS double check to make sure my work is compatible with other computers so to avoid anymore embarrassing mishaps!
