Check out the photos from the Art Trail. You may wish to use these to complete the homework listed below.

media type="custom" key="20639383"

Address each of these themes with a two paragraph response. Use photographic evidence from trail that you collected or use photo from the trail above.

Theme 1. Using evidence collected on trail, discuss the difference between street art and graffiti. Try to find a picture of a piece you are unsure about. What should be done about street art? Who should decide? Should art be illegal?

Theme 2. Choose a piece of work from ACCA. Try to choose a piece that was either very challenging/confusing for you. Try to analyse the work for symbolism and meaning. What might the artist be trying to say or making reference to? Does this piece challenge your idea of what art is? Or is it bad art?

or

Theme 2. The photo below of Tracy Emin's 'My Bed' piece was really divisive. Many of us considered this as not art. Try to analyse the work for symbolism and meaning. What might the artist be trying to say or making reference to? Does this piece challenge your idea of what art is? Or is it bad art?




 * MEDIA LITERACY HOMEWORK **

 * ART, SCIENCE & MEDIA - SIGN UP HERE **


 * Once again we are giving you the opportunity to inquire into an area that interests you.**


 * Have a read of the blurbs below and use the description to help you choose your theme [includes trail]:**

What is it to be creative? Is there more to art that meets the eye? Can an idea be art? We will delve into conceptual art, the philosophy of art and most probably make a bit of art to see how the public reacts. We'll go off to the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, explore some laneways and our heads aren't too full of art then we'll probably duck into the National Gallery for good measure.

= Science Homework = Write about the most interesting things you learned: How has your idea of science changed during this week? What do you think about how Science is taught at UHS? Should it be taught differently? Answer the following questions, using evidence from our trail:
 * SCIENCE: **
 * Reflection:**
 * during our classes at school (What is Science? What is the difference between Fact and Opinion? What do scientists do when they observe new data that doesn't fit their current theories?)
 * at VIDRL
 * at Melbourne University
 * Focus Questions - short answer - 2 paragraphs each. You do NOT have to write an entire essay!**
 * 1) What is the difference between a fact and an opinion? How do scientists produce facts rather than just opinions?
 * 2) Is science a noun (an object or thing), a verb (something people do), or both?

What's the difference between a "fact" and an "opinion", and what does science have to do with it? What do scientists do with their time, anyway? What is it like to work with some of the world's most dangerous viruses such as HIV and ebola? How do people learn about science at University? Get all the answers by signing up to this series of discussion classes, undercover university lecture spying and lab-visits (at the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory) where we'll see real scientific researchers in action.

 * MEDIA: **

How does the media affect how we see ourselves? Are our identities [as individuals, as teenagers, as Australians] shaped by the media? Do we really have control over who we believe we are?? This week we will learn how to analyse the messages that the media sends us, so that we have more choice about what to believe. We will go out into the city as 'culture vultures' - investigating the spaces and places that try to shape young people's identities.
