Brief Description

Students will choose their best artwork from three different pieces they created.  If the chosen work is 2D, the student will scan their work.  If the chosen work is 3D, the student will take a digital picture of the work.  Students will create a page for the Painted Sky 2 and 3D Photo Album.  All student pages will then be uploaded to the Painted Sky Art Photo Album.

Accommodations for Special Needs

Gifted students will be paired with students that are having difficulty critiquing their artwork.  They will give advice on what piece of artwork represents the best work of the student utilizing the student rubric.  The gifted students will also be placed in charge of monitoring the work being saved to the server.  SEI students will be paired with students that are comfortable with the critiquing process as well as familiar with the technology skills required.  Special education students will be required to choose from two pieces of artwork from the semester.  They will also be paired with a student that is comfortable with the technology requirements.
