| Resource: | "Myth In Art" Curriculum | |
| Provider: | The Minneapolis Institute of Arts | |
| Summary: | Age Range: 11 and up (with parental supervision; younger children may enjoy aspects of this presentation). The Minneapolis Institute of Arts sponsors this website that offers a free, downloadable curriculum and website presentation titled, "World Myths & Legends in Art." It presents stories and folk lore from cultures around the world that have inspired artists to give them visual form. |
|
| Description: | When you get to the site, you'll see a brief introduction and four icon menus that include: *Art by Culture - View myth-inspired artwork from cultures in Africa, China, Ancient Egypt, Western Europe, Ancient Greece, Japan and more. *What is Myth - Read an introduction to myth, and learn why they are such compelling stories for artists to depict. *Art by Theme - Explore the artistic creations of art themed around myths about creation, gods, heroes, animals, or beast characters. *View All Art - Click on icon images of the 26 works of art displayed on the site, and learn more about the artwork as well as the myth or legend that it depicts. *Compare and Contrast - This is an interactive online essay activity. Students select two works of art from the presentation and write a short essay comparing and contrasting them. Before you dive in, it may help to read "How to Use This Site" that is located on a tiny horizontal menu bar below the main selections. There, you will also find a link to the free, "Downloadable Curriculum" to use offline. It's a remarkable resource in art history and appreciation that is divided into a series of lessons and includes discussion questions. If you have middle and high school age children, this could be a terrific learning tool for the whole family to use together. |
