Rubric/Assignment (DUE on Tuesday, April 17)
You will create a piece of artwork inspired
by African Art. This gives you a
diverse range of objects, styles and
formats to choose from. Like the African artists, you may create a practical
object made beautiful or create a piece just for its beauty. You may creatively re-use materials or use
materials specifically for your artwork.
Look back over this sheet for types of artwork and inspiration. The requirements are below. If it is NOT specifically discussed below,
then it is likely okay!
Your piece of art MUST:
· Be small enough to comfortably and
safely be displayed on a school desk
· Qualify as visual art
· Be original
· Contain only school appropriate
images
· Demonstrate inspiration
from/connection to something from our Africa studies
Your piece of art May:
· Be a Tinga Tinga painting or any
other art item we viewed/read about
· Be something different from the art
we viewed/read about
