PART 2

PaintingValue in Painting

Analyze how an artist organizes a painting through value.

Value Pattern is a way to organize a painting or art work. It is the organization of lights and darks to lead the viewer through the work. A high contrast area (black to white values) of the image will attract the eye first. Then you can follow values through the rest of the work to see the rest of the information. An Artist is the director of the work.

Please pick a favorite REPRESENTATIONAL painting (it shows realism, what things actually look like as opposed to non objective abstraction- not based on real objects) and either

1. Print out a black and white copy of it OR convert online to black and white and save a jpg of it online in a program where you can mark it up.
2. Then look at the painting by squinting your eyes at it. (This reduces it to basic shapes of value).
3. Reduce the painting to basic shapes of value in black, gray and white by recreating the work in basic shapes of value.
4. See how the painting is balanced, what is the area you notice first, how do you move through the work following value. Write these notes in the discussion, posted with the original, and the simple shape value analysis and respond to at least 2 others in the class.

Beyond Stonewall: Exploring LGBTQ+ History

“All young people regardless of sexual orientation or identity deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential.” Harvey Milk

Module objective: Explore the rich history of the LGBTQ+ community from the turn of the 20th century through the Stonewall Riots in 1969 and beyond. Identify Arizona History and Social Science State Standards that pertain to the teaching of Latino history in Arizona classrooms.

We are going to learn about GBLTQ+ history from Smithsonian film, Beyond Stonewall, Exploring LGBTQ+ History Through the Smithsonian Archives. (Video is posted below).

The film explores the incredible objects from the National Museum of American History that showcases the rich history of the LGBTQ+ community from the turn of the 20th century through the Stonewall Riots in 1969 and beyond.

To Do:

1. Create and complete a KWL chart for the film. A KWL chart is a graphic organizer used to facilitate learning. It helps students activate prior knowledge, set learning goals, and reflect on what they’ve learned. The acronym KWL stands for What I know, What I Need to Know and What I Learned. Here is what your KWL chart needs to look like:

2. Before you watch the film, Beyond Stonewall, record what you already know about GBLTQ+ history and contributions to the U.S. Don’t Google or AI anything- just list what you already know, if you know don’t know much, it is okay- just say that.

3. Scroll through the and identify 3 standards that pertain to the teaching of GBLTQ + contributions to American and Arizona history. You may copy and paste the standards into the “What I Need to Know” part of the chart. You may copy and paste the standards into the What I Need to Know part of the chart. Include the grade level of the standard, the discipline and standard number. Example 6.E5.1. 6.E5.1 Describe the factors that influence trade between countries or cultures.

4. Watch the 51 minute film, , and take notes in the L – “What I Learned” column of your KWL Chart.

5. Reflection Question: How does this film challenge or complicate your understanding of LGBTQ+ history? What new questions does the film raise for you? Explain your thinking for full credit (expectation, one paragraph).

After you post submit the assignment then I will go in and check the Padlet and post your points and will leave feedback in the gradebook comment box.

Please don’t post the same image that someone else has already posted. You can search the internet or use an image from our slides (Remember Week 1 had several images) or it could be images of murals. The artist doesn’t have to be famous, here is a list of artists from the “Chicano Collection” to give you some ideas but it doesn’t have to be one of these.

Carlos Almaraz, Chaz Bojrquez, Pablo Andres Cristi, Einar and Jamex de la Torre, Gaspar Enrquez, Margaret Garca, CiCi Segura Gonzlez, Raul Guerrero, Gronk, Wayne Alaniz Healy, Adn Hernndez, Leo Limn, Gilbert Magu Lujn, Csar A.
