How can the work of artists serve as inspiration for your students to engage with Big Idea, Enduring Understandings, and Essential Questions, and Elegant Problem?
Sign up for a check-in time!
Padlet Response
Research - Artists in Support of a Big Idea
& Check-in meetings
Closing check-in
I can grapple with, inquire into and articulate the themes and conceptual foci in my work (or those that I aspire to work with).
I can locate a variety of artifacts from across time, cultures and disciplines in order to demonstrate that Big Idea is a human concern of significance.
I can reflect upon my participation thus far in the course and advocate for my learning needs.
Please create a Google Slides document in your Strategies Folder called "10 Images in Support of a Big Idea"
Research artists (across disciplines!) who engage with the same Big Idea that you do
*Please be intentionally inclusive of BIPOC artists, artists across the gender spectrum, artists across media, across time periods and even across genres-- please search material culture, pop culture and literary/performing arts to find examples of other works that grapple with related themes.
You will know without a doubt that your Big Idea is a Big Idea if it spans disciplines!
Begin collecting images of artworks that share your Big Idea and placing the images in a slideshow (one per slide).
Find/know about great resources for artist research? Add them to this list
Please also provide the following information for each image/work:
Artist's name
Country of origin
Title of work
Year
Materials/processes/media
Context
Brief description of relevance to the Big Idea
URLs of particularly good sources
See my prototype and Sara Reinhardt's Full Unit Plan (former student sample) below for examples (hers start on p. 9)
