Unpacking how Ideas Guide Process

When you student teach, you spend a lot of time observing other teachers, then you graduate, and it can be hard to find the time and opportunity to observe and learn.

As teaching and learning are taking on many new formats this year, leaving teachers, parents, and students overwhelmed, one of my goals is to share more of my own teaching. To let you “observe”.

In AP Art students develop a sustained investigation topic, and use that to guide their work throughout the course. This is really hard for most students. They also work to think about the connections between their ideas, processes, and the materials that they use. It’s a powerful way to reflect on how things are connected, not only in art but also in life.

Each decision that we make, impacts another.

Below is a recording of our class call, where we work through making connections and communicating through art.
