selec6ng an art object that is contemporaneous with the works and the period of Modernisms
Of the Americas
Art object chosen – Jean Carlu, America’s Answer! Produc6on, (1942),
In order to deliver a successful presenta6on you will need to be able in your presenta6on to
explain to the class why you believe i6s important for them to understand the work you
selected in the context of the day’s theme ( Modernisms of the Americas )
For your presenta6on, you will for no less than ten and no more than twelve minutes lead
applying the knowledge you have gained in researching your art object towards visual analysis
of the work ( Jean Carlu, Americas Answer! Produc6on,

942 ) , and expand upon the object’s
social, historical, and material contexts. You should design a lesson that provides ample
opportuni6es for open-ended, well-craRed ques6ons and other forms of engagement for your
classmates; you shouldn’t simply lecture straight through.
1. What is important for you to understand about this part of the world, this point in 6me, and
this work of art, and how will you help them to learn? For example, will you review key
concepts, create comparisons to other works we will discuss that day, use the work to introduce
the class to a new style or movement, or introduce new ideas and issues that complement the
day’s assigned reading?
2. How will you facilitate par6cipa6on amongst your peers? How will you create
opportuni6es for class par6cipa6on in your presenta6on? What are some ways that you can
include them through visual analysis, open-ended ques6ons, or other means of engagement?
