STEP TWO.

Choose 1 movement to focus on in more detail.

Taking on the roles of museum curators, prepare a digital exhibition of the movement you have chosen.

Use the What / Who / When / Where / Why / How categories from the table to expand on your chosen movement in greater detail.

For instance, the ‘Who' section needs to include background information about the key artists such as – origins, history, techniques, museums where their work is displayed.

STEP THREE.

Your exhibition needs to feature at least 3 key art works that best display the themes of your chosen movement.

You need to capture an image of the selected art works and each needs to be accompanied by a ‘Gallery Blurb' which contains information about:

•  Artist, Title, Date, Medium.

•  Why you consider it is a good representation of your chosen movement.

•  Why the artist created the work and the story behind the work.

•  How this art work makes you think and feel. What emotions are conveyed?

STEP FOUR.

Create your own work of art that is inspired by your chosen art movement. You could do this digitially (using a program such as Art Rage2 ) or by using more conventional methods. Remember though, this being a digital exhibition your artwork may need to be photographed or scanned in later.

STEP FIVE.

Put your exhibition together – it could be in the form of a web page, Power Point, booklet (using Publisher) or in a Notebook file for an Interactive Whiteboard.

Include with your digital exhibition a list of resources (books, websites) you used as part of your research. Please note: The artists, movements and web links are not a complete list by any means. You are encouraged to search beyond these suggestions.
