Thursday 12/16/10. <br />
<br />
<strong>Dear Art Students:</strong> <br />
<br />
Please <strong>find an interesting article</strong> about the <strong>Visual Arts</strong> in the news on the internet. <br />
<strong>Write a</strong> <strong>brief summary</strong> (one quality paragraph) in your own words. <br />
After your paragraph, copy and paste <strong>a link to the online article</strong>.<br />
Then write your<strong> first name, last initial, and class period</strong>. <br />
Post this assignment here on the <strong>Art Class Blog</strong>. <br />
If you are not able to post your assignment here, then simply send the complete assignment to me in an <strong>email</strong> through NewSchoolNotes. My email address is: <a href="mailto:ckaplanis@esusd.k12.ca.us">ckaplanis@esusd.k12.ca.us</a> <br />
Either way is acceptable, however I would prefer that you try to get familar with this type of learning tool: <strong>using a blog</strong>. <br />
Please try to accomplish this assignment by <strong>Monday, January 3rd, 2011.</strong> <br />
Then we can use what YOU find is interesting for our <strong>"Museum Monday"</strong> time in class! :) <br />
<br />
I am looking forward to seeing what interesting articles about ART you find and post!! <br />
Sincerely, <br />
Ms. Kaplanis <br />
