Readings and Assignments for February 17th

Hello All,


We will discuss these readings in class:

Rethinking Our Classrooms (pp.106-160)

Making art together: Step-by-step: (pp.vii-24)

Making Art Together is available as a complete document here on the class blog. It is listed at the top of the blog. Just hit view blog and it is listed above. If you have trouble opening the document please let me know.

Your art lessons are also due next class period. On these you need to use the basic Visual Studies Template that is available on the class blog. You also need to include a small budget. There is an example of one at the top of the class blog. Remember it needs to connect to one of our class readings (this can be a very loose connection). I just want you thinking in anti-bias, pro-justice concepts. Yes, I want you to make art lessons, but I want more than a lesson on the elements of Art or Principles of design. Also you need to include at least 5 contemporary artists. You can include historical art figures as well, but you must have contemporary artists. It is easy to fall back on art lessons we did in school, but we need to push for new ideas and concepts. I look forward to seeing what you all develop.
