Art Pathway B: Explore Art Through Computational Thinking (Overview)

< Back to Building Block
Step 4 of 4: Analyze Art

Practice B3 highlights how to:

  1. Create and utilize categories to analyze similarities and differences in artistic works
  2. Examine biases that may be introduced through processes of art curation. Analyze patterns in social, historical, political, and economic events to explore how they influence artistic works
  3. Analyze artistic works using data

Practice in Action

B3.1 An activity using this practice could ask students to compare and contrast iconography used in Native American art. Within this activity, students identify key images and symbols within artistic works and then categorize them into different categories based on these properties

B3.2 An activity that highlights this practice could have students explore how Spotify, Pandora, and Apple music make recommendations around different genres and based on user listening history.

B3.3 An activity could ask students to plot the facts versus the events in artistic works based on a true story (e.g., Based on a true story)
