Week 1 - Introduction Distribute unit packs to be put in folders. AOI: How do we live in relation to others? As a class, brainstorm and discuss. Unit Question: How do we visually communicate a concept or theme? Brainstorm in small groups and record your answers in your developmental workbooks. Please title and date your work. Be prepared to share your answers. Compare and contrast 2 works of art: Romare Bearden’s "Back Home" (1970) & Ariel’s "None Had Your Rhythms" (2006). How are they similar and different? What concept or story is the artist telling or trying to convey? Discuss Unit Concept: Collage/cut paper can be used to create and express meaning, statement, memory or story.
