Exhibition

What group am I in?? Ice Breaker Activities My Name Means . . . My Name Means requires players to come up with words describing themselves. The trick is that they must do so by creating a phrase where each word begins with a letter of their first name used in order. For example, Theresa might say, “My name is Theresa and I am tiny, happy, energetic, red-haired, eager, strong, and amazing.” Spaghetti Tower one of the funnest things we did at camp last year. we had a contest to see who could build the coolest thing with marshmallows and toothpicks. This Week... Tuning In This is the stage where you define your key issue. You identify things you already know and identify the questions (Lines of Inquiry) you need to find out about. You will hypothesise and predict what you are going to find out. Here is a good place to set goals and timelines for yourself. Key Questions: What do I know about...? What am I interested in…? What questions do I have about…? Where and how could I find more information about…? Who could help me? What skills will I be using? Tuning In Checklist To ensure that you are ready to move on to the next stage of the Exhibition, go through this checklist. If everything is complete, then you are ready! Have I remembered to… Task Completed Read through the general information section and know what it is about. Read and understand the different ways I will be assessed. Y chart outlining understanding of concepts relating to the Central Idea – fill in blue pen at the beginning and add new ideas in red pen (in UoI book) Unpack the Central Idea – Can I explain what it means? Use the question creation chart and the key concepts to help create our lines of inquiry. Create lines of inquiry and questions/ideas to pursue. Organise and plan for the 1st Mentor meeting. Complete my personal reflection and look for teacher feedback. Extra Tasks? Essential Agreements Working with your group you should make a list of the essential agreements for exhibition. Think about how we should treat each other, how we should behave, what should happen if there is a conflict and what is important to remember about your actions.

Exhibition: Identifying your Issue

For the past week and a bit,  we have been preparing you for exhibition by showing you a whole lot of different ways that people express themselves.  This was to increase your understanding of our central idea:

Our next step is to identify your issue you feel some passion towards, so your teachers can place you into groups of 3.

To do this, we are going to carry out a silent discussion. What is a silent discussion? Around the Room are nine large sheets with a large idea on each:

• Children
• Economics
• Technology
• Environment
• Animals
• Cultural
• Health
• Religion/Beliefs
• People/Families
• Education
• Science

Students were divided around each sheet and had several minutes to write down local, national or international issues under that heading (eg. poverty under 'Economics'). The sheets were then swapped, and the group wrote on a new sheet. All this was to be done in silence.

Once the sheets were full, they were put up around the walls, and in silence, students went around reading the sheets. The purpose was to find issues they wanted to inquire into for exhibition. The purpose of the silence is so students wouldn't be influenced by others because they needed to choose something they were passionate about themselves.

The final step was for each student to write down a first choice topic area and then two issues under it, then the same with a second choice.

An example:

Economics

• poverty
• Cheating in professional sport

Technology

• Artificial Intelligence
• The gap between rich and poor countries' access to technology

Street Art vs Graffiti/Tagging

1. Street Art is constructive, Graffiti Tagging is destructive.

2. Street Art adorns the urban landscape, Graffiti Tagging scars it and accelerates urban decay.

3. Street Art stretches your mind, Graffiti Tagging is a slap in your face.

4. Street Art is about the audience, Graffiti Tagging is about the tagger.

5. Street Art says "Have you thought about this?", Graffiti Tagging says "I must exist because I see my name".

6. Street Art was done with a smile, Graffiti Tagging was done with a scowl.

7. Street Art was done with an outstretched hand, Graffiti Tagging was done with an outstretched finger. 

8. Street Art takes skill, Graffiti Tagging takes balls.

9. We mourn losing Street Art and celebrate losing Graffiti Tagging. 

Do you agree or disagree with these statements? Justify your opinion.

French street artist JR uses his camera to show the world its true face, by pasting photos of the human face across massive canvases. At TED2011, he makes his audacious TED Prize wish: to use art to turn the world inside out.

Street artist JR made a wish in 2011: Join me in a worldwide photo project to show the world its true face. One year after making his TED Prize wish, he shows how giant posters of human faces, pasted in public, are connecting communities, making change, and turning the world inside out.

Brainstorm some issues that you think could be portrayed through JR's style of Art.
