Your Task
You work
in a new art gallery. The person in charge of the gallery has
made you responsible for one room in the Italian section of the
gallery. You are to choose one important Italian artist some of
whose works will be exhibited in this room. You are to give regular
talks to visitors about this artist. The first part of your task
is to decide which artist! Italy is famous for its artists over
many centuries.
Resources
Look at
pictures of Italian artists and choose an artist whose work you
like, then focus your research on that one artist.Here are some
useful websites about various Italian artists.

The Process
Once you
have chosen the artist whose works will be placed in your gallery,
you will need to do some research. Remember that you will have
to develop an interesting talk about the artist. Click here to
get the data
chart
on which you will make notes as you find information. Once you
have enough details under each question, make your notes into
sentences. Write your own sentences, rather than copying what
someone else has written. Now organise the sentences into a good
sequence. Polish these sentences until you have a format you are
pleased with. This will be your talk.
Presentation
Choices
You will
present the talk that you would give to visitors to the gallery,
together with some pictures of the art works you would have on
display. You can do this as a power point presentation if you
choose. You will need to make some comments about the art works
as you refer to them. Remember that the display is just in one
room, not the whole gallery, so it is not necessary to have many
art works. You will also have a map of the room and some drawings
to show how you would display these art works.
Evaluation
Once you have finished your presentation, think
about how you worked during this project, and fill in the self assessment
form.
Then discuss your work with your teacher.
