Using Voki to research a famous piece of artwork.
Because of the availability of laptops at Stone Hill School, the students in grade 6 will be incorporating technology within the artroom. Students in Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Brown's classes will be researching about a famous artist and his/her artwork to create a Voki presentation. The artist/artwork will be those found at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. These artists/artworks were chosen because the students will be going on a field trip to the RISD Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and will have the opportunity to view the artworks on exhibit (providing the artwork is not out on loan) All presentations will be embedded on this website once completed!
