Art History Research Project

This is an Art History Research Project designed for your middle school and high school art students.

The Learning Goals for this project are as follows:

• Students will research an art period with an emphasis on the artists, achievements and art styles of the selected period.

• Students will interpret and analyze a variety of works from their chosen art period. 

• Students will create and design a Slide Deck that utilizes their research.

• Students will utilize the elements of art and design in the composition of their Slide Deck.

Overview to present to students:

For this project, you will be selecting and researching an art time period or movement of your choice. The periods range from Ancient to Modern (options are on the next slide). You can select a time period that most interests you. You will be researching this period or movement, the achievements of this time, famous and iconic artists during this time and more. 

You will then use your notes to create a Slides presentation with all of this information.

This project is broken down into 4 phases.

Phase 1 – Choose a time period or movement. Ancient World, European Art and Modern Art are the time periods included.

Phase 2 – Complete the research for their time period or art movement.

Phase 3 – Interpret and analyze at least 3 works from your time period or movement.

Phase 4 – Create a Google Slides, Prezi, or any other form of visual to present your information.

This Google Slides presentation is fully editable, so it allows the teacher to edit any information they need to, such as due dates. For each phase, the slides have place for students to type in their answers, responses, and research.
