NEW COMMUNITIES: A Metaphoric Self-Portrait
New Communities. Digital Collage. 2012.
_
Art is a reflection of human nature and experience. Through the
exploration of art we can learn about ourselves and others. Through the
exploration of art from diverse cultures students can discover
different perspectives on life.
Through art education students can symbolically travel to communities throughout history and across cultures. As students symbolically travel to these communities, gain knowledge, and perhaps even be exposed to new values, ways of looking at the world, and ways of living. With this knowledge they can live healthier lives.
Art Education has the ability to teach an appreciation and tolerance of diversity. The art classroom is a community of learning. As a community of learning the art classroom has the ability to model collaborative decision making and teamwork. Because of the nature of art there are no hard and fast answers. Through the exploration of these questions students should develop a tolerance of differing views.
