Art Making and Meaning:
Understanding through Questions
Everything Comes from Somewhere – Art Influence
Question for Understanding If you were making an artwork, what artworks have you seen that might influence how you make your own? Objective Students recognize how earlier art influences later art. Activity Ideas for All Students Show the DVD segment, “Everything Comes from Somewhere,” asking students to watch for ways the artists are influenced by the work of earlier artists. Give students practice and feedback by using some or all of the interactive “Everything Comes from Somewhere” CD activities, which you can project for an entire class or which individual students can view in a computer lab. Students can use the CD to 1) review what they learned on the DVD, 2) apply what they learned to their everyday visual world, and 3) recognize how inquiry into art influence applies to old and new art.
