My key takeaway was that if art teachers give students projects where they can share pieces of their own experiences then all students will grow from learning about one another and themselves. I also found this article very interesting, as it intersects with my own art making. I am also very interested in the objects people collect in their homes and work spaces.]]> 2019-02-19 22:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332961297 Reading 2 higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332961435 I chose to read "When is creativity?" There was a quote that stuck out to me and it was "In self-directed learning, the teacher's role shifts from instructor to facilitator, living resource, and guide. Teachers respond to students' needs with encouragement, challenge, and relevant connections to the art world." This shows a shift from teacher directed to student directed classrooms and what that looks like in the art classroom. ]]> 2019-02-19 22:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332961435 Reading 3 higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332961707 2019-02-19 22:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332961707 Reading 4 & 5 higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332962225 2019-02-19 22:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332962225 Journal Entry 1 higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332962515 2019-02-19 22:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332962515 Journal Entry 2 higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332963173 2019-02-19 22:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332963173 Journal Entry 3 higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332964278 2019-02-19 22:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332964278 Yayoi Kusama higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332965558 Article that includes a brief history of Kusama's work as well as well as an in-depth look at what it is like to enter her infinity rooms. I like this article because the author talks about how she feels when she enters each room, whether that be overwhelmed or soothed. It is helpful to see it through someone else's eyes and understand their emotional reaction to each room.]]> 2019-02-19 22:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332965558 Nagasaki and Hiroshima higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332966831 Yayoi Kusama's "Aftermath of Obliteration" has been directly connected to Kusama's own experience and feelings about Nagasaki and Hiroshima. She was 16 years old when the bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima so she remembers the events pretty vividly. In my research of "Aftermath of Obliteration" I thought it would be important to include some information about this important historical event. I liked this article because it gave a good over view of what led up to this event.]]> 2019-02-19 22:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/332966831 Journal Entry 4 higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333031309 2019-02-20 03:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333031309 Journal Entry 4 (part 2) higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333031563 2019-02-20 03:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333031563 Concept Map higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333031760 2019-02-20 03:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333031760 Artists Who Deal with Emotions in Their Work higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333032089 Anne Drew Potter “The Captain’s Congress” Bullying and Victimization

She discusses various "narrative opportunities" in the art classroom, but the one that stood out to me most was the section on visual culture. I think that visual culture affects everyone, but not everyone is able to pick up on how and when it affects them. It is important for teachers to help students understand the types of messages they are bombarded with everyday due to visual culture. I also think it is important to teach students how to use visual culture to tell their own narratives because they can manipulate or change the meaning of visual culture with their work if they choose to do so. ]]> 2019-02-20 18:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333327516 STEAM higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333911835 Incorporating Science, Texhnology, Enginnering, and Math into the art classroom can help students learn that art making can encompass more than may originally think. This opens the door of art making for students. It also helps validate the importance of art curriculum as a tool to connect different disciplines. ]]> 2019-02-21 20:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/333911835 SEAL higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/334228029 Social-Emotional Art Learning is made up of three components:
1. Self-Awareness
2. Self-Management
3. Social-Awareness
All three of these components are easily introduced into art curriculum because they are already present in the artistic process. ]]> 2019-02-22 17:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/334228029 Reading 7 higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/334260812 In the article "Principles of Possibilities- Considerations for a a 21st-Century Art & Culture Curriculum" Olivia Gude introduces the 'principles of possibility' as a structure that teachers can base their curriculum off. I found a couple different parts of this article interesting. First, I was intrigued by the section on play and a line that stood out to me was "today's students, over-constricted by an educational system that often focuses on knowing the one right answer, need guidance in reclaiming their capacities for conceptual, imaginative play". This stood out to me because I remember being a student that struggled with this when I first got into college classes that gave me the freedom to choose my own concepts. It took a lot of encouragement and time for me to really settle into this new way of art making in which I got to choose what I made and how I made it. The second thing that stood out to me was the section on forming self. This aligns with my unit plan research because of the connection the Gude makes with social-emotional learning skills such as self-awareness and self-identity. These skills are often avoided in education, but they are extremely important to the development of our students into well-rounded individuals. I am really glad that Gude touched on that in her article. ]]> 2019-02-22 18:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/334260812 STEAM higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/335699289 Project Ideas for incorporating STEAM into the art curriculum]]> 2019-02-27 00:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/335699289 Making Sure Art isn't Lost in STEAM higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/335699645 Using the Four C's:

-Creative writing is characterized by the creation of virtual reality, the presence of ambiguity, the use of expressive language, the use of vernacular language, the promotion of empathy, the personal signature of the researcher/writer, the presence of aesthetic form.

-Forms of creative writing: memoir, personal essay, short story, novel, drama, and poetry.

-Importance of writer's workshops and teaching students how to give each other constructive criticism. Then teaching students how to take that criticism and put it to use in their writing.

How arts and creative writing support each other:

-the arts and creative writing are both disciplines of the imagination.

-"Students find that the habits of mind they develop in one area of the arts are easily transported to others. The questions of authenticity and personal vision, of audience and publishing, of critique and cultural discourse-- all these and others are freely engaged in the literacy and visual arts."

Artists to present to a class:

-Chagoya

-Do Ho Suh

Ideas for k-12 instruction:

-Devise joint activities based on word and image.

-Media literacy and video production project involving story boarding.

-Metaphor motivated artwork.

Here are some questions I've thought of that have multiple right answers:

-Are selfies the same as self-portraits?

-What emotions do you feel when you look at Yayoi Kusama's "The Aftermath of the Obliteration of Eternity"?

-What is the most emotionally impactful piece of art that you have seen/experienced?

The ability to have a conversation about critical issues starts with the teacher, thus Rao and Pfeiler-Wunder run us through a series of exercises for pre-service teachers that help us to better understand ourselves, others, and experiences. The exercise that I was most interested in was the one for "develop a nuanced understanding ourselves and others" in which teachers have to think about how other people see them and it forces them to confront the biases they experience and take a closer look at what defines them. I think this would be a great thing for high school students to do at the beginning of the academic year to help the teacher get to know them. It may help the teacher to understand key elements of the student's interests, personality, and insecurities.]]> 2019-03-26 04:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/345097720 This book is about... higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/345325104 This book is about incorporating different genres of creative writing into the art classroom.]]> 2019-03-26 15:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/345325104 Outline: higg9743 https://padlet.com/higg9743/5554tlxa05jm/wish/352603064 Work of Art as Empathy:
