This section promotes students to actively respond to works of art. Students have the opportunity to assess what they have discovered and define what they still want to know. The pre-visit activity, Art Analysis and Creative Writing, asks students to write a fictional narrative based on a work of art. This exercise reveals how works of art elicit multiple interpretations. The on-site activity, Sharing Stories, Looking at Books and Paintings, asks students to share their personal perspectives, view examples of original books in The Wolfsonian collection, and compare paintings in the galleries. Students respond to a questionnaire that asks them to write their reflections on a work of art of their choice, including questions they may still have. The post-site activities comprise two creative writing exercises. The first activity asks students to write an acrostic poem that addresses the theme of nature or the environment. The second activity asks students to write a description of a personal conflict they have experienced. Visit www.pageatatime.org to see more about this collection.
Page at a Time's core materials are designed to be used with either fifth- or sixth-grade students. The sixth-grade activities in this section supplement the core activities. Their purpose is to challenge sixth graders to think in a critical and comparative manner that may be too difficult for fifth graders. Visit www.pageatatime.org to see more about this collection.
This section encourages objectivity as students are offered information about the historical context for the works of art. The pre-visit activity, Analyzing Political Cartoons, asks students to find and interpret a political cartoon. This exercise continues to encourage students' exploration of symbols as tools for delivering messages, in this case politically and socially motivated ones. The on-site activity, Analyzing Art, asks students to look at a work of art subjectively through a facilitated discussion. Students are then offered contextual information about the work. At this point students are asked to reconsider their opinions about the meaning of the work and whether their opinions have changed given new information. The on-site activity, Object Analysis, asks students to explore a work of art that they think relates to an historical event and to analyze the work for contextual clues.
