7.) What was the most challenging aspect of this unit?
For me choosing the right painting and looking for the right information for my painting.
Explain. The power point was kind of hard to do and google and blogs a little.

What worked well for you in the research project?
Fininshing the assignment and getting everything done. Correctly.

What helped you learn?
Well lots of things like the internet helped me look for the painting. And helped me learn lots of things about this artits.

What didn't work well for you in this research project?
Well I choosen a painting but it was just to hard to get a exact painting that would looked very well and understanding painting. So I have choosen a different artitis instead.

What would have made the project better?
If the assignment wasn't so much information to look up for.
Like we should of just had to do the power point and thats it.

Critique the overall human for in art research project. Should this project be taught in ninth grade Humanities English? Why or why not? Yes and no but it would be really good to do it at early age. And that its not always gonna be easy in high school. No because the assignment is just a little to long for me. I don't know really but I guess sure 9th grade should do it. Good experience I suppose.

What does your piece of art say about what it means to be human?

I think my piece say lots of things. Like African Americans should have the same rights as everyone then and now. That we should have equall rights and that everyone has feelings and when you are mad or sad. You express your feelings and you do what needs to be done. And get your right back. So basically your respect. I thought my piece really just says it all. It just speaks to when you look at the painting for awhile.


This piece is by Charly Palmer. I thought it was a great picture. When I first saw the painting it really stood out to me. Especially the people in the painting who were carrying signs in their hands stating "We are not afraid" and another said "Together we stand"

The sign describes unity and strength of Black Americans. At the time of 1960's.

Like I thought it could of, had to do with racism or struggle in america because there's a little girl carrying american flag.

1. Write about your experiences thus far with the Human Form in Art Research Project. Have you chosen a piece of art? What questions do you still have? What are your next steps? Yes I have choosen a art piece for my blog. I thought it was a little hard to find a art piece but it was ok to find one.

2. What search engines did you use? How useful did you find the online resources? What did you learn today? Have you chosen a piece of art that depicts the human form? Reflect and summarize on what you have completed thus far in this project. I real learn alot but it was hard to look for a good piece to do. But I just look for one. I really thought online research really helped me to look for some real good information. For my blog and power point.

3. What piece of art or pieces of art have you narrowed down your choice to? What did you learn today? What are your next steps? What will you need to spend your time doing on Friday in the computer lab? Look for some more information about the artist and when did he did it. And why.

4. What did you learn today? What challenges did you have or do you perceive having in this project? What are your next steps? What questions do you have? My challenging thing for me was to do a power point. And all infomation correctly right.

5. Where are you at in the project? What more do you need to accomplish? What are your questions? Should I change the presentation time limit to
5 - 7 minutes instead of 7 - 10 minutes? I need to finish my power point and my three art piece and my profil and thats all really.

6. Post about your synthesis of the research you have done. Also, post about your analysis thus far. I also need to finish that part then I will be done with this whole project.
