LEARNERS
This Webquest is aimed at middle school or high school students. This specific collaborative project is aimed at 8th grade students, however, it can be easily adjusted to become beneficial to almost all age groups. To be successful in this Webquest, no definitive skills are needed. However, it is important to Shape and develop your ideas based on feedback, collaborate, compromise, and to channel your inner creative genius.
EVALUATION
Evaluation will be based largely on how students interact within their groups. The overall process of trial and error, evolution of ideas, and collaboration is an art practice in itself. Although the end product is important, the ability to work successfully with others to create a cohesive piece. With that being said, we would like to see art properties being utilized, an attention to details, and new tecqniques explored.
