Art Inquiry Research Notebook and One-Page Reflection
Students maintain an investigation notebook that records question revisions, notes on art-form examples, vocabulary, and source observations. They then write a one-page reflection that explains their definition of art, one new art form learned, and how their thinking changed.
What Counts as Art? Gallery Walk Investigation Poster and Oral Report
Teams synthesize individual evidence into a shared investigation poster and brief oral report that explain their group definition of art, compare at least two art forms, and justify conclusions with examples. The team presentation must include visual evidence, note one conflicting viewpoint or anomalous example, and explain how it affected the group’s claim.
