Multiple Intelligences	Bloom’s Taxonomy: Six Thinking Levels
	Knowing	Understanding	Applying	Analysing	Creating	Evaluating
Verbal I enjoy reading, writing & speaking	List ten artists who have painted self-portraits.	Display, and tell the rest of the class about, one self-portrait you have studied.	Write and ‘artists profile’ of yourself to accompany your photo in an arts magazine.	Compare and contrast self portraits by two different artists.	Included with your artwork you need to submit a (minimum) one page description of how you produced it and how successful you feel you were in presenting your true self in the artwork
Mathematical I enjoy working with numbers & science	Describe the mathematics behind drawing faces and facial features in proportion.		With a photograph as a guide draw your face using the correct mathematical proportions.
Visual I enjoy painting drawing & visualising	Re-create one artists self-portrait with paint on paper.	Using pen and paper create a self-portrait of yourself at 60 years of age.		Create a multimedia major artwork using Mediator or PowerPoint that will tell the viewer about who you are. This will involve you analysing yourself ie . Your physical appearance, your social and intellectual interaction with your surroundings, including other people, and your character, moods etc. Your artwork should include; images, music or sounds that you have created and ones that you have collected. (these need to be integrated into your work - not simply stuck in or on) Exhibit your completed artwork on computer.
Kinaesthetic I enjoy doing hands-on activities	Make a collection of magazine and/or newspaper portraits.	Make a vase with your facial features and place clay models of objects that are significant to you inside it.
Musical I enjoy making & listening to music	Make a list of songs that relate to your personality.	Listen to “Vincent” by Don Mclean and write another verse that tells us even more about the artist or his work.
Interpersonal I enjoy working with others	In small groups research and write a report on at least 3 different ways of creating a self-portrait.		Debate the topic! A Caricature (cartoon) is just as valid a self-portrait as any oil painting.	Take turns describing one another’s characters and personality. (be tactful) Make notes.	Work as a group to create a computer generated collage that is a self portrait of the group	After doing the PMI below discuss the statement in groups
Intrapersonal I enjoy working by myself	Make a collection of images and quotes that say something about who you are.	Imagine you are the Mono Lisa posing for Leonardo’s famous portrait of you. Write a week’s diary entries on sitting for the master painter. (You might like to let us all know the secret behind the smile)		Describe how you feel about showing who you really are in an artwork.	Create a mind map of your personality and interests.	Self Portraits should be realistic! Do a PMI on this statement.
