"Assumed Identities" - Digital Project

In this unit we look at four contemporary artists, whose work focuses on assumed identities. The artists are: Tracey Moffat (New York based Australian artist), Moriko Mori (Japanese artist based in Tokyo), Cindy Sherman (American) and Matthew Barney (American). This unit is designed to utilise students ICT skills and allow them to become confident when researching resources online.  Each student is to provided a copy of the unit cd which with which will allow them to work independently.  Reviews should be carried out regularly by the teacher to ensure students are on track with their project.  Additional workshops need to be conducted which will allow students to develop their PowerPoint skills.
