Instructional Activity / Procedures
Briefly introduce the work of Museum London and Discover London Art
1. Video
1.1. Screening (projection):
Present the introductory video (length: 5 min. average). We encourage the projection of the video on a large screen for the entire group.
If possible, turn off the lights or close the curtains, try to create a ‘screening room’ atmosphere.
Invite students to remain silent – the video will be short.
1.2. Dialogue:
After the video finishes, ask students:
What did you learn about Paul Peel?
Why did he become so famous?
What kind of subjects was he interested in?
What did Paul do in order to improve his skills?
Where did he go to study?
What can be the benefits of studying abroad?
Isaure was also an artist. Why did we know so little about her achievements?
Why did he die so young? What was the level of advancement of science and medicine at the time?
Do you know the names of other London artists?
2. Test Your Own Knowledge:
Ask students to respond the quiz, which consists of a multiple-choice series of questions, based on the content of the video.
• If Chromebooks are available, students are expected to answer to the questions individually or in small groups.
• If Chromebooks are not available, the teacher can lead the activity using the class’ projection screen.
Optional: print-out the certificates and send them home. We encourage this process, even if not environmental-friendly, to promote awareness of the activity among parents and guardians.
3. Elements and Principles:
3.1. Ask students to view/read the modules on elements and principles. These are short informative guides on design concepts.
3.2. Ask students to see the online exhibit (slide show) and choose their favourite artwork.
Optional: Conduct a poll. Students should vote for their favourite artwork.
Share the results. Ask students: Why did you choose that piece?
4. Create Your Own Artwork:
The session ends with an individual art project. Students are encouraged to create their own work inspired by the session’s content.
4.1. Sketching like Paul Peel
Element: Line
