Abstract

This paper describes how digital storytelling was used to facilitate student exploration of modern art. Digital storytelling is a powerful inquiry-based learning tool and informed an art history project described here and undertaken by a class of undergraduate art majors. The project required students to create a campaign advocating for the modern art movement they perceived as "most representative" of the modern era. The campaigns were formatted and presented using Microsoft Photostory 3. Students were required to gather and analyze research; summarize important historical contexts behind the movement; create a descriptive overview of the movement; explore key artists and works of art; quote advocates, artists, and critics of the movement; and substantiate the claim that their movement was "the most representative" movement of the modern era. In addition to encapsulating student research, the campaigns had to include a slogan and appropriate music. Student projects will be shown in presentation.
