Classroom Considerations
- Find the referenced artwork in the Artwork and Artists and See and Compare tabs on the lesson webpage
Pros
- The website students explore during the preparation stage is a great resource for examining art and an artist
- Includes plenty of supporting materials, such as vocabulary, a rubric, extension ideas, and more
Cons
- The Create tab in the plan says class members should visit their local site for five weeks, but what they really mean is an hour each day for five days
