Works of art are not illustrations. They are primary documents every bit as important as written materials. But how do you get started teaching about art in your classroom? Beth created some amazing resources, listed below!
A short course on teaching with images
We created a short course about how to get started teaching with images. It includes 3 units:
- Developing confidence: If you’re new to teaching with works of art in your classroom, this unit will provide you with the basic tools you need to talk about what you see, and to help your students do the same.
- Modeling the method: Videos that model an inquiry-based teaching method that actively engages students in the learning process.
- Go deeper: Opportunities to go deeper on timely topics, such as oppression and resistance, where the women artists?, how museums shape meaning, indigenous peoples (a selection since 1800), why is that art?, art and the environment, false and misleading images, and the pluralism of American identities
