Exam day information

What will we do on exam day?

• Look at all the work in our portfolios and evaluate the skills and creativity we’ve developed this semester.
• Answer a series of questions (written or drawn) about the topics we’ve discussed during the semester including goals and techniques of these artists and styles/movements of art: Egyptian tomb art and hieroglyphics, Renaissance (Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo), Chinese ink wash, impressionism (Monet, Manet, Degas), Japanese woodblock printing and its influence on impressionists, different styles in post-impressionism (Seurat, Van Gogh), fauvism (Matisse), cubism (Picasso, Braque), surrealism (Miro, Chagall, Dali, Magritte), abstract expressionism (Pollack, deKooning, Kline, Still)
• Clean out portfolios and take work home.
• Clean the classroom.

How should we prepare?

• Look at any handouts and written assignments you have kept from the year. Look at these terms and concepts: (hieroglyphics, depiction of human form in Egyptian art, 4 breakthroughs of Renaissance art, principles of Chinese painting [landscape, bird and flower], chiaroscuro, Mona Lisa, Pieta, Sistine chapel, pointillism)
• If you’ve lost some of them, use the books in the classroom to explore these concepts or do web searches at home.
• About one hour of preparation should be plenty.
• IF YOU OWN THE MONA LISA BOOK, PLEASE BRING IT TO THE FINAL

How will this count toward our grade?

These activities will be assessed and recorded in the "CONTENT KNOWLEDGE" category, which accounts for 25% of the total grade.
