Literature Art Connection Project-Honors Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time Speak

Task: You will take on the role of either Christopher or Melinda. You are taking an art class/studying art and one particular art movement (style of painting) grabs your attention. On your field trip to an art museum you find a whole exhibit in the museum dedicated to this movement.

Products: After you, as Christopher or Melinda, have chosen the art movement you would find most meaningful and interesting, you will create:

1. Research and Voicethread Presentation (Group): 60 points

a) Research a variety of art “movements” or philosophies. Choose one that your character would most likely subscribe to, or find most meaningful and interesting based on his/her experiences.

b) Print 1-2 sources (articles, book excerpts, etc) where you found the bulk of your information about this movement. Annotate the article and also create an Annotated Works Cited Page for all sources to turn in the day of your presentation.

c) Choose 2-3 paintings from that movement. Scan/upload the paintings into a group Voicethread. The VT should also include (for each painting) the artist’s name, title of the painting, the year it was painted. You also want to include in this slideshow the evidence you are using from the text to support your argument (quotes/passages), and an introductory slide to explain the main tenants of your movement. You will explain in class how this movement is one your character would find most meaningful and interesting based on quotations/passages from the novel.

2. Paper (Individual): 40 points

Details to follow. Due after the break.
