Unit 24: Exhibition 

In this unit, students investigate exhibitions before selecting artworks for a district-wide exhibition. The more advanced students will acting as curators, so students  at this level are only concerned with evaluating the quality of their work and choosing which artworks they want to display. 

These lessons can be adapted to fit your exhibition needs and this unit could be shifted to fit your timeline.

On slide 4 there is a link to an article with 10 exhibitions listed and linked to their respective museum websites. Some of these exhibitions may have ended and been removed, so before using this lesson, ensure that these links still take the students to enough information to fill out the handout on slide 5. If not, find a similar article or provide a few links of your own.
