Exploring Artists around the World
Unit Objectives and Purpose:
Throughout this nine-week period, this curriculum will encourage students to learn about art practices from other parts around the globe. In learning about these different artistic traditions and methods students will learn about different communities and how their art reflects their culture. Students will then be asked to reflect and create their own meaningful artwork that is relevant to their own life based on their acquired knowledge. Through activities such as classroom discussions, idea sharing, art-making, and critiques students will be able to learn about how to embrace the differences and similarities they share with their peers, as well as all individuals with diverse backgrounds. The curriculum will include various media investigations in both two and three dimensions and will not only create new knowledge of different media, but also build upon student’s previous knowledge.
