This may easily be my favorite chapter so far. I feel like I finally understand what we're talking about when we talk about "unit foundations". Most especially I appreciated and will apply this question:
"What do I want my students to retain and understand (about art) long after they have left my classroom?"
In quoting this question I put "about art" in parentheses because using the enduring ideas as my foundation I know that students will hopefully gain lessons beyond the art world about life and ethics and goals.
But as an art teacher I appreciated this succinct list that helped me realize what I want my students to be left with:
- "Art is a purposeful human endeavor." > a free space for experimentation
- ART MAKING: a process of inquiry
- "Art attains value, purpose, and meaning from the personal, social, and cultural dimensions of life." > ART HISTORY
- "Art raises philosophical issues and questions." >compassion
- "Artworks are objects for interpretation." ART CRITICISM
- "Change is fundamental to art." > adaptation
