Our art class has been exploring the art style of
Giuseppe Arcimboldo all semester.
Weve learned the Elements of Art and how to apply
them in our art works.
Weve made self-portrait collages made from the foods
we eat to see what familiar shapes our faces relate to.
Now we have the thrilling task of diving into the past to
learn even more about the artists impact on history!
A WebQuest is an exciting project
that allows us to search the Web
and learn more about the topics
weve been studying.


We will be breaking into 4 groups of 4 to
complete this exercise; pick your own groups.

Students will answer 5 questions about the
painting assigned to their group.

Questions will be based on discovering more
about Arcimboldos life and what Elements of
Art he used to create each artwork.

We will also conduct an in class critique to
discuss your final answers.
Questions for each group to answer:
1. Where was Arcimboldo born?
2. Who commissioned this piece?
3. What Elements of Art do you think were used
to create this?
4. What medium was used to create this piece?
5. What Principles of Design were used in the
piece?

The four groups are made up of four students who will be working together to
answer the 5 questions evaluating Arcimboldos artworks.

use complete sentences when answering all questions.
