content thus far. Students will also turn in their sketchbooks for evaluation of the small art
demonstrations of techniques introduced in the unit.

contribute to art history. They will learn how to distinguish these differences in artwork
introduced throughout the unit and through the application of techniques in their sketchbooks.

can.
