Description

African Art Activity Book - Corresponds with African Art in the 250-image set (Minus to the Great Mosque of Djenné) - AP Art History - APAH - Google Drive - Lesson Plan - Digital

It is time to reinforce learning and encourage critical thinking skills with this engaging African art activity book. This activity book is intended to be completed as students learn about each piece of African art within the 250-image set (minus the Great Mosque of Djenné). Students will practice art historical thinking skills like compare and contrast, explore biases found within Western interpretations of African art, and practice their unknown attribution skills. Each page contains a different theme and activity for students to complete.

This resource comes as a Google Drive resource. When you download this resource, you will see the terms of use and printing notes. On the printing notes page, you will have a link to the Google Drive folder. You will need to make a copy of the material if you would like to edit it. All of these instructions, including a step-by-step visual guide on how to use this resource, is included in the terms of use. As of right now, there is only a digital version of this resource.
