Students will view photographs from Ana Mendieta's "Silueta Series" and consider the integration of body art, earthworks, performance art, and photography. Students will also discuss art forms that are temporary or ephemeral and how photographic and video documentation become part of the work. Students will explore the concept of body language, work in pairs to create silouhettes of their own, create imprints or molds with their hands or feet, work in groups to create a work of ephemeral art and document the process, and discuss their own personal bond with a homeland or cultural heritage.

Students will view Pistoletto's "Mirror Architecture" and consider why an artist might choose a fractured mirror to create a work of art; how the surroundings and the viewer interact with the sculpture; and how our perceptions of the piece might change in different locations. Students will write a story with the mirror as the central subject. Students will also write a short story which explores the symbolism of mirrors.

Students will examine sixteen paintings by George Baselitz. Students will describe the works and discuss details, the reasoning and meaning behind painting upside down, techniques and methods required to work in this manner, and the process behind the series. Students will also analyze the titles and subtitles Baselitz used and the meaning or implications associated with each. Students will compose a dialogue between two characters in the paintings and will experiment with painting with hands and feet in the style of Baselitz.

Students will view and discuss Cy Twombly's "Nine Discourses on Commodus", research the Roman Emperor Commodus, investigate Twombly's process and technique, and consider the difference between works in a "series" created as "one in a sequence" rather than "stand alones". Students will also discuss how music may inspire visual arts; make paintings based on phrases of poetry; and debate the artistic value of graffiti.

Students will view and discuss Waking, 1984 by Gilbert and George. Working in pairs, students will gather images from newspapers and magazines depicting youth culture and style. Students will then combine the images collected by the class and create a collage showing how they think youth should be depicted by the media. Alternatively, students could create a digital collage by taking pictures of themselves and their peers. Have students discuss how their image selections reflect or represent their generation.

Students will watch and discuss an excerpt from Ono's "Cut Piece" 1964. Students will also record sounds to create audible poems, produce a school-wide sound-sculpture project, and create short videos in response to a series of prompts.

Students will explore the work of Yoko Ono, an artist activist for peace, human rights, and feminism. They will examine, describe, and discuss several of Ono's "action" pieces; installations dealing with plastic and visual expression. Students will also organize an event in defense of the environment at school; set up a school or classroom blog inviting all students to participate, learn about armed conflicts that are taking place around the world today, and participate in Yoko Ono's action piece "Imagine Peace Map".

Students will learn about conceptual art, minimalist sculpture, haiku, and readymades through analysis of Yoko Ono's 1966 work "Apple". Students will participate in a number of activities revolving around the theme of "Experiencing the School in a Differnet Way". Activities include writing haiku, producing a collaborative mural project, create a collaborative mixed-media interpretation of one aspect of the school, and conduct a survey of the positive and negative aspects of the school with the goal of promoting positive change.
