Teaching Tips
Positives
There are so many wonderful artist galleries, and each one is unique.
Additional Prerequisites
There are five icons for exploring the artist galleries: delve, learn, interpret, reflect, and act. The icons help guide you as you scroll through each artist gallery.
Once you click into an artist gallery, there are left and right arrows in the top right to help you navigate through the galleries.
If you check any of the pledge boxes at the bottom of an artist gallery under "Featured Actions," you can share that pledge to Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr.
Differentiation
Art students could choose one artist to study. Students could research the artist's motivation and background and analyze one of their pieces.
This resource could be used for social-emotional learning by focusing on the emotions represented in and evoked by the artwork.
These galleries identify key environmental problems arising from oil exploration and resource exploitation and present a plan for sustainable resource management. This is recommended for teaching.
