<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">** Bloom's Taxonomy ** <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">This group of lessons addresses each level of Bloom's Taxonomy at some point. Students gather"Knowledge" of an artist in the comparison portion of this lesson; after which they use "Comprehension" to organize this knowledge. Then "Application" is used to compare and contrast their own style to that of the artist chosen and describe how their own artistic development was influenced by the artist. They use "Analysis" to describe their reasoning for selecting the artwork for their portfolio and applying what they learned throughout the course to write an artist statement that incorporates information with their own original ideas.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">This also flows right into "Synthesis" as the students communicate their original ideas to others and give descriptions of their artwork, inspiration, preferred medium, preferred style, and how that style is affected by multiple sources to become something uniquely "them. Lastly, students reach the "Evaluation" level by actively participating in critiques where they take everything they have accumulated thus far and openly discuss art elements, principles, and techniques with other students. They comment on others' use of these things, as well as their own; and they make distinctions between these different things and what determines quality in artwork. They realize that many different factors contribute to artistic quality. A piece that has poor technical/literal quality can still be a masterpiece; if the impressionist and abstract styles have taught us anything.
