1. A student wants to do a project on the way people dressed in Charles Dickens’ England (the Victorian Era was from 1837-1901). What results can you find in CAMIO, and how did you find them?
I went to the search link: Costumes and Jewelry under "Work Types". I looked to the left and clicked on "1800" under 'DATE' and I got 1,774 results. From that point, I would let the student search through the pictures for his/her project.
Common Core Connections
In Lesson 8, spend some time exploring CAMIO and its features. Consider how you would use this resource to support the visual element in Common Core areas of “Integration of Knowledge & Ideas” and “Presentation of Knowledge & Ideas” for your grade level and content area.
I would think that CAMIO would work well in covering the following standards:
Reading Standards for Literature 6–12
Grades 9-12
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
7. Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two different artistic
mediums, including what is emphasized or absent in each treatment (e.g.,
Auden’s “Musée des Beaux Arts” and Breughel’s Landscape with the Fall of
Icarus).
7. Analyze multiple interpretations of a story, drama, or poem (e.g., recorded or live
production of a play or recorded novel or poetry), evaluating how each version
interprets the source text. (Include at least one play by Shakespeare and one
play by an American dramatist.)
8. (Not applicable to literature) 8. (Not applicable to literature)
9. Analyze how an author draws on and transforms source material in a specific
work (e.g., how Shakespeare treats a theme or topic from Ovid or the Bible or
how a later author draws on a play by Shakespeare).
9. Demonstrate knowledge of eighteenth-, nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century
foundational works of American literature, including how two or more texts from
the same period treat similar themes or topics.
You could have the students browse CAMIO and choose two pieces of similar art. they could compare and contrast or analyze both scenes, what mediums were used to make both pieces of art, and what is emphasized or absent in each work. You could do this in an ELA Class, but tie it in with the Art teacher.
Good work, Library Lady! I like your Common Core connection, especially collaborating with the art teacher. You could also collaborate with the English teacher and have students write an essay, story, play, poem, etc. based on the artwork. Thanks!
