Reflections on art, social justice and collaborative practice by a teaching artist
This blog outlines several ways to use collaborative art practice to engage high school art students in current social, political or environmental issues that are important and meaningful to them, as a way to expand their idea of the possible in art as well as to engender greater social connectivity in the classroom and beyond.
This blog highlights a thematic approach to art education in ceramics, which developed out of an AP Art History curriculum. I hope to demonstrate how larger themes (The Natural World, The Human Body, Knowledge and Belief and Individual and Society) can empower students to make meaningful connections between historical and contemporary works of art and expand a sense of the possible in the clay studio.
