    Imaginative Arts Apprentice Week 6: April 28, 2022

History of Painting

Study/Learn

DO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

• Review all the notecards from the whole year - don't forget the music.
  
• Choose 5 of the notecards that really speak to you and learn about the painter/sculptor/architect/musician and anything you can about the art/building/music.  Take notes about what you learn in your commonplace book.  Let your interests guide you and jump into learning in the style that fits you best.  
• Figure out what your best learning style is by taking 2 of the following tests:
• Education Planner
• How to Study
• Learning Style Quiz (scroll down on the results page for the pie chart)
• This week is the end of year VanBuck STORE!!!  Yay!  So bring all of your Vanbucks and be ready for a spending spree during lunch.  Please text Sis. Cloward how many Vanbucks you have so that we can adjust the economy accordingly.  

Know/Understand

Choose your favorite piece of art from the notecards this year and really dive into learning about it. 
Why was it painted?  Where is it today?  What did people think of it at the time it was painted?  What do people think about it today?  Why is it considered a classic?  How did the artist feel when he/she was painting it? Why does it speak to you? Etc.  

Then come up with a creative way to represent the piece of art for the class.  Really dig deep into your talents and hobbies and skills.  The sky is the limit on this project, so get creative.  

Bring whatever you created to class to show.  If it's too big to bring, take a picture or video of it.  (But don't use this as a cop-out.  I want to see the real thing if at all possible.)

Become/Serve

Read this talk - Christ at Bethesda's Pool - about Pres. Monson's experience viewing a beautiful piece of art.  Does art affect you this way?  Have you ever learned from art?  Pres. Monson also teaches us through poetry and music.  How do those elements in his talk speak to us as the listeners?  How much richer is his talk because he included art, music and poetry?  How much richer is your life when you include those things?  Make a goal to include more of the arts in your life this summer and write down three ways that you will do it.
