Making Curriculum Pop

Another great lesson plan from the Art Institute of Chicago Education Department.

Artwork Resource Packet: Two Figures (Menhirs) by Barbara Hepworth

Barbara Hepworth's Two Figures represents the artist's fusion of geometry and nature. The teak sculpture is composed of two vertical forms that are situated on a platform and punctuated by white-painted circular or oval concavities. Hepworth expresses the organic qualities inherent in her materials, the smoothness of the teak amplified here by the curving forms, suggesting a play between the inner and outer components of these figures. This teaching packet includes an essay, discussion questions, activity ideas, a glossary, and an image of the artwork.

What a neat sculpture!  I understand form wandering around the web tonight that you are interested in a more active history class. I am creating a site in the history of art and architecture around the world.

ahaafoundation.org

Meet Katherine will tell you about me.

I would like to work with one or more teachers using the information on the site as part of their class.

I would also like to have complete lesson plans that would help the student and teacher do something with each micro lesson, write a poem, paint something, write a story.

 

After looking at the site let me know if we are on the same page.
