LESSON III - RESPONDING TO THE VISUAL ARTWORK THROUGH WRITING

their piece. They must include three things:
a) Physical description of the piece (What materials
were used to create it? What are its features?)
b) Explanation about its use
(Was it functional such as furniture or a bowl? Was it
used in ceremonies?)
c) Explain why you chose to recreate this piece.
2) Students will learn how to cite a bibliography
entry for electronic information:
