Classes that have completed Our respect rules - Values lesson

If you set the scene for this unit by completing the optional Our respect rules - Values lesson student groups should remain the same as those that were formed during that lesson. These groups should remind themselves of the team rules that they agreed to by reading over their signed agreement.

3. Consider exhibition elements (10 minutes)

Start by using a graphic organiser (see Teacher information – Sample graphic organiser) to brainstorm with your class the questions: What is an art exhibition? What is its purpose? What are the elements of an art exhibition?

Students may have had some of their work appear in class exhibitions before. In fact if they look around the classroom they might find that some of their work is currently being exhibited. During this exercise you should focus on the elements that make up an exhibition.

What is an art exhibition? What are the elements of an art exhibition?

Student responses might include:

• a place that shows a range of art work

• a place where artists present their work

• a place where an interested audience gathers

• a large space for display

• music to communicate art themes

• hospitality and food and drink

• invitations are sent out

• dance performances to communicate art themes

• information and thank you speeches

• special guests/judging panel

• audio visual presentations.

What is its purpose?

Student responses might include:

• to present an artist’s interpretation of group, culture, person, event etc

• to communicate a message or idea to others

• artists selling their work

• promoting an event

• to entertain others.

4. The planning process (35 minutes)

Ask students to refer to Activity sheet 1.1 - Our exhibition plan - hard copy to each group or projected on the interactive whiteboard, student laptop or iPad. Using the opening discussion as stimulus ask students to discuss and consider each question about their proposed event.

Explain to students that they will need to complete this task by the next lesson where they will be asked to justify their responses to the class.

An alternative for teachers

As an alternative teachers may choose to empower students and give them full ownership of the event by leaving the Activity sheet 1.1 - Our exhibition plan blank for students to complete.

Teachers may use the content of the activity sheet as a guide and (or) as points for students to consider if needed.
