What do we want students to learn?

How will we know they’ve learned it?

PURPOSEFULNESS IN ARTS INTEGRATION = PURPOSEFULNESS IN EDUCATION

ARTS EDUCATION

ALEX CARRIERSELF-PORTRAIT

▪ No other subject at school achieves such an incredible level of self-realization and self worth. When a student looks down at the paint on their hands and the work of art they just made, they say to themselves, “I created this.” Even if it’s just a finger-painted, hand-printed turkey, there is no feeling like that of one who has just created.

▪ It is also looking at what you have done and improving it. Reworking it.

▪ I created this.
