ART HISTORY CHALLENGE - ROCOCO ART - DIGITAL CHALLENGE ACTIVITY

HERE'S AN ART HISTORY CHALLENGE ABOUT ROCOCO ART!

Teach Art History with this interactive Rococo Art digital challenge activity...

Build students' Art Appreciation and observational skills as they learn ART HISTORY facts while completing this fun and engaging digital activity- based on an informational reading passage about the Rococo Art Period.

A MYSTERY WORD IS REVEALED TO COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE!

Students will be exposed to information on common themes on the ART TOPIC, which increases their visual comprehension skills and enhances their art interpretation capabilities.

HOW DO STUDENTS FIND THE MYSTERY WORD?

During this DIGITAL CHALLENGE ACTIVITY for Google Sheets™, students will familiarize themselves with the reading passage based on the given ART TOPIC info.

Next, the student searches within the reading passage for answers to questions based on its content.

The student then types their answers in the (self-checking) boxes, which unscramble an image with a secret code to decipher the mystery word.

The mystery word is then translated by finding a letter which corresponds with each number.

and VOILA!

Once they've found the MYSTERY WORD, they've completed the challenge!
