Students will engage in interviews, gather insights, and conduct research into the political, social, and cultural contexts of their chosen art era, identifying key influences and challenges as the foundation for their collaborative project.

Students will collaboratively analyze their initial research findings on the art era, pinpoint key social and political influences, and define the central challenges and opportunities faced by artists, preparing them to craft a clear problem statement for their upcoming ideation phase.

Generate a wide range of ideas and solutions.

Students will collaboratively design and construct low-fidelity prototypes of their chosen era’s art influences—using materials like cardboard and paper—to represent key cultural elements and prepare for curation in a mini exhibition or magazine format.

Students will present their prototype magazines or mini exhibitions to classmates and other students in the high school library, gather feedback, and refine their projects based on insights to enhance communication and showcase their understanding of the art era's cultural and political influences.
