Lesson Assignment IMOFA

ReviewWelcome The Art Life

Welcome to IMOFA, IguanaPaint Academy’s critically-acclaimed virtual Museum of Fine Arts!

Art history is an integral part of every IguanaPaint Academy’s aim to offer a well-rounded arts education. The IMOFA tours provide an opportunity for students to see the richness of art, and to gain an appreciation for what you’re teaching. We receive a lot of positive feedback from students for the IMOFA portion of the courses.

We have created this PowerPoint template to make it easy for you to take your students through an inspiring tour at IMOFA during each lesson. We’ve included helpful hints throughout the template.

Creating your IMOFA tour is easy to do, and you’ll be surprised at your own enjoyment and benefit!

IMOFA stands for Iguana Museum of Fine Arts. It is our own virtual museum, and teachers enjoy “curatorship.” You create tours for your class that teach and inspire.

No worries- you don’t need to know the history behind the works.

Simply consider what would inspire you if you visited a museum. Plenty of resources exist for digital images of great works of art that relate to your lesson. Add these to your Ppt lesson and take your students on a tour.

You may find, as I did, inspiration for your own work!

IMOFA

To provide your students an enriching experience at the Iguana Museum of Fine Arts, here’s all you have to do:

• Include 10-12 examples of worthy works in each lesson’s tour.

• Search online for photos that pertain to your lesson and course. I use online search engines to find hi-quality, hi-res (large) files and save them to specific folders on my hard drive for use throughout my courses.

• Replace the sample images in this template with your own images. In PowerPoint’s Insert menu, select > Picture. Then locate and select your image to be inserted into the slide of choice.

• Resize as necessary. Maximum dimensions are either 6.5” high and/or 9” wide.

• Add a caption with Artist, Title, and Date.• Add narration, sharing your excitement and awe over the

works.

Click on the comments icon in the sample slides that follow for helpful tips.

Have fun curating at IMOFA!

IMOFA

I start off each tour with an IMOFA transition slide and a comment about the current show. For example…

IMOFA has a great exhibit on display right now that just happens to be about what we’re studying this week.

Let’s step inside and be inspired!

Sample IMOFA slide 5.

More samples at the end of the tour.

IMOFA

Edward Hopper, The Lighthouse at Two Lights, 1929

Tim:

Tim:8/27/2013You can easily change the background color by highlighting your slides in the thumbnail preview column on the left > right-clicking > select "Format Background" > then selecting a Fill Color from the drop-down menu > then click Close.TIP: keep your background color consistent for each section of your lesson (i.e. one color for the demonstration, another for the Museum Walk, etc.).

Tim:

Make sure your images fill your slide (after all, this is an art school!). Most slides are 7.5" high by 10" wide, so max your images to 6.5" high or 9" wide to allow for a border.

Tim:

Be sure to include the Artist, Title, and Date in your captions if possible. Keep the fonts consistent in style (using Lato, Sans Source Pro fonts- available free at www.dafonts.com) and in size 16pt to 18pt for captions.

Tim:

To delete these comments from the template, simply right-click and select "Delete".

Tim:

Use this template in your presentation by selecting the thumbnails and copy/paste into your presentation. Do this by:1) While holding down your "Ctrl" key, click on each thumbnail you want to copy.2) Then right-click and select "Copy"3) In your presentation, click between two thumbnails (a line will appear), right-click, and under "Paste Options," select the second icon "Keep Source Formatting". 4) You're done! The same slides should appear in your presentation with the same formatting (text style, background color, etc.) as shown here.

Artist’s Name, Title YYYY

Gallery Tips 1:Keep in mind this is supposed to be fun. Enjoy this stage of the lesson, both in creating and

viewing. It’s a break for you and the students. Be inspired.

You don’t need to know anything about the items in the

exhibit other than the title, artist’s name, and date/period.

The purpose is to develop an appreciation for art throughout the ages and to be inspired by

great art.

Relax, and enjoy the tour with your students!

Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa 1505


Gallery Tips 2:Maximize your image sizes.

For a typical 7.5”h x 10”w slide, your images should be size to

max out at 6.5”h and/or 9” wide.

Always include the artist’s name, the title of the work, and

the date (year).

Include work from historical and contemporary artists, including

your own if you like, to show students what good art looks like. In your narration, share what excites you about the

work, interesting anecdotes, etc.

Name of Piece in Italics, by Artist First/Last Name, Date (year)

Wreath Of Oak Leaves And AcornsGreek, Late Classical or Early Hellenistic Period, 4th century B.C.

Tim:

You may find that a different color background works better for your images. In the case of these jewelry photos, a black slide background matches the photo's black background, creating a very professional appearance. :)

Artist’s Name, Title 1901

Gallery Tips 3:Aim for consistency from slide to slide in terms of image sizes, margins, etc. In this example, all images are 6” high.

Use the Align tool (Home ribbon>Arrange>Align) to center your

images horizontally and vertically.

Avoid borders, unless it helps the image. If used, keep borders minimalistic. This

provides a more sophisticated appearance across all IguanaPaint

courses.

Include 10-15 images per lesson.

Colosseum in Rome, 70-80 AD

M.C. Escher, Mono Con Globo, 1935

Tim:

It's up to you whether you place a border around your images. Just be sure to always understate the border rather than make it too heavy or loud. To add a border: 1) double-click on image to select it.2) in Home menu, look for the border control icon3) select color and weight.

Edgar Degas- Tänzerin, 1888

Joanette Egeli, Oranges

View from the Window at Le Gras by Nicéphore Niépce, 1826. The first successful permanent photograph, captured on oil-treated bitumen. Due to

the 8-hour exposure, the buildings are illuminated by the sun from both right and left.

Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States by Alexander Gardner, 19th c.


Gallery Tips 4:Keep your examples within your course topic.

The variety shown here (architecture, drawings, jewelry, paintings, photography),

are for example only.

In keeping with the IMOFA visit being distinct from your lesson, make the background different from your lesson, and the same

throughout the entire IMOFA tour.

Conclude your tour with a slide noting the rewards of viewing beautiful works of art.

Remember, enjoy and be inspired!
