HomeworkReading on Dutch still life and the inventory, 30 min, set day 4, due day 6

This block runs as a short Monday–Tuesday start, then a break while G11 Juniors are out (Wed 11-04 to Fri 11-06), then a full week. A3 is announced on Tuesday 3 November, the last session both halves of the class attend before the deadline, so attendance that day matters.

How it runs

  • Day 1 · Mon 2 Nov · U3·L11 — Heda: the still life as inventory. Name every object and who owns it.
  • Day 2 · Tue 3 Nov · U3·L12A3 announced (Unit 3 essay, due Thu 19 Nov) in the first ten minutes. Then Heda again, the same painting, taken further than yesterday. LB5 posted. Then three days out.
  • Day 3 · Mon 9 Nov · U3·L13 — Leonardo, The Last Supper: find the moment Leonardo chose, and say why that one and not the one before it.
  • Day 4 · Tue 10 Nov · U3·L14 — Bruegel and Steen: the disorderly table, taken seriously as a subject rather than comedy.
  • Day 5 · Wed 11 Nov · U3·L15 — the Qingming scroll, unrolled, followed by food along its length — 35 of the 45 minutes.
  • Day 6 · Thu 12 Nov · U3·L16 — the moral image of work: when did work become worth painting, and for whom.
  • Day 7 · Fri 13 Nov · U3·L17 — write the Heda paragraph; swap and cut one adjective from someone else’s. CS4 collected. Direct practice for A3.

Assessment

  • LB5 — Tue 2026-11-03, posted from the second Heda session.
  • CS4 — Fri 2026-11-13, the Heda paragraph: one paragraph that earns every adjective in it.

These dates may shift when the school publishes its calendar for this period.
