Teaching sequence

One artwork identity across every task

The pack is structured around a continuous research workflow. Students can move from projected images to written analysis and citations without losing the object record or the visible evidence.

Verify

Establish artist, title, date, medium, dimensions and holding institution.

Compare

Use three paired evidence relationships instead of writing two separate summaries.

04

Write

Turn the relationship into a claim, comparative thesis and revision priority.

Cite

Retain museum records and export source-ready citations for both artworks.

06

Reuse

Print, edit, present or export the research record for a new classroom task.
