Activity 7: Ancient Art & Music Examples (Brad)

__**Guiding Question**__ **: What impacts have ancient cultures had on the arts?**

__**Objectives**__ :
 * 1) The students will use web-based resources to locate examples of ancient and modern day works of art.
 * 2) The students will make connections between the artwork from the past and modern day art.
 * 3) The students will work as a group and compile a grouping of several different pieces of art, a modern example that follows a similar theme or idea, and what element of art or music connects them.

__**Procedures**__ **:**
 * 1) The teacher will display some sample images, videos, and articles as a hook. These images will demonstrate a variety of art forms throughout several different ancient cultures.
 * 2) The students will then research their own examples of artwork from one or several ancient cultures using both the provided guiding resources as well as resources that they contribute through Diigo links.
 * 3) The students will then observe and experiment with Linoit.com
 * 4) After becoming comfortable with Linoit, the group will work collaboratively to embed their linoit with their researched images/videos/sound-files.
 * 5) The students will then research their own examples of artwork from modern Western culture using both the provided guiding resources as well as resources that they research and contribute through Diigo links.
 * 6) The students should then try to look through images of modern arts/music to find examples of 20th and 21st century art that resemble the artwork they have already placed on their linoit.com.
 * 7) Students will then have to connect their past images/video/music with the modern day counterpart, using a post-it that verbally describes what elements of music or art they found similar.
 * 8) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Students will be assessed on both the resources they embedded as well as their text post-it that drew the connections
