Format
This program is very flexible, and each session is a bit different since students are making choices about their learning.
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
-Navigate multiple opinions and viewpoints about artworks and historical events
-Make connections between works of art, their personal lives and others in the group
-Use artworks to connect to students understanding of their modern-day circumstances: what communities they belong to, their role in their communities and issues their communities face.
