Hello welcome back to another blog post today I am going to be reflecting on a Humanities project called How It Started How It’s Going this was for a exhibition which means we work and then show it off to the whole the world so we did it this year virtually on a free website called art steps. So the driving question was: What can we learn from the past,and why does that matter to us today. More on that later.

So the core competencies. For English 8 the core competency was responding to text which means that you construct a original piece of art and establish a creative connection between yourself and the text. I showed this in milestone one because in my original meme showed a cloud and a rainbow that is personal to me because those were my marks and it’s original because I didn’t see it done by anybody else. And it is critical because It shows growth and self improvement. 

For the second and Maker 8 competency was: Empowered Learner, How might I use technology to construct knowledge? I demonstrated this best in a stepping stone where we used SuperimposeX to photoshop our final meme here’s what mine looked like  so I used SuperimposeX and created something cool original and epic. In case you were wondering my painting is called “A Renaissance Man” by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli created in 1675. 

For the 3rd and final competency it was a socials 8 and it was: Establish Historical Significance: How do we make choices about what is worth remembering? Meaning everything we do has a impact and we chose to remember significant events of those moments. I best demonstrated this in Milestone 6 when I helped one of my group members write the voice over about the Black Plague. 

Ok now the answer to the driving question in my opinion is: what we can learn from the past and why does it matter to us today.on the choices we make like in art we draw inspiration from people like Leonardo Da Vinci his art influences us in many ways. One way it influences us is where we travel some people might want to visit the Louvre to Mona Lisa. Or artists might draw similar ideas or use the same colours as in his paintings. We also constructed a Book Creator guide which is here:

Here is my final meme 

 

 

And the museum
