Format
This program is very flexible, and each session is a bit different since students are making choices about their learning.
1. We will introduce the museum.
2. We'll explore 3-8 works of art from many different cultures, time periods, and areas of the museum.
3. Students will engage with works of art through drawing, creating a prototype, or responding to creative prompts.
Within a lesson, teachers may expect to see their students make choices such as:
- Selecting between several works of art to explore
- Making choices about strategies to engage with an artwork (i.e. writing, drawing, talking, movement, etc..)
Objectives
- Determine which artworks we engage with during the lesson
- Make collaborative decisions to drive learning with increased independence
- Make choices about strategies used to engage with artworks
- Use creative thinking to imagine alternate possibilities in artworks
- Generate multiple ideas and solutions
- Test out and evaluate solutions
- Develop a comfort with ambiguity
