Continuing discussion on the specific context of the painting's creation and display, and of Pablo Picasso and his emerging and shifting abstract style of painting. Preliminary open-form discussion of possible interpretations of the painting, beginning with the more obvious macro-level signs in the painting on touching on other symbolic aspects (the Harlequin figures/patterns, animal representations, etc.).
Task Expectations: Each paper should contain personal interpretations and a reflection of personal reactions to the painting that are connected to the historical facts and larger trends discussed. Discussion of individual elements as well as the composition as a whole and the relation of the individual elements discussed to each other and to the meaning of the work as a whole should be present in all completed papers.
Grade 10 Lesson Plan
Primary Task: Create a new work of art that demonstrates a reflection of personal feelings towards a specific event or period of time, and a conscious and rational commentary on this event/period and the social/political impact it had.
Learning Objective: Students learn to appreciate their own ability to interpret and comment on historical events, and to understand the larger ramifications of political events/historical periods. Aesthetic and symbolic planning become more familiar to students, and students' skills at communicating in abstract and symbolic means are improved.
Pre-Task Learning: Students will each select their own historical period or event and write a brief proposal outlining hwy they think this period/event is significant, what their...
Students will engage in self-directed study of their time period/event to obtain a better understanding of the selected period/event and to expand their knowledge and awareness of potential signs, symbols, and styles to be used.
Task Expectations: All student artworks should be clearly related to and representative of the selected period or event with a brief verbal explanation. Artworks should be stylistically cohesive (or non-cohesive as a conscious and explained choice) in their commentary and their aesthetics. Evidence of improved visual representation capabilities should be present, but the association of abstract aesthetic elements with features of cultural, political, and historical significance is much more important.
Conclusion
The development of the concepts and skills necessary for students to critically engage with works of art in an interpretative and ultimately creative fashion is an ongoing process. By tracking the development of such learning over the course of schooling and ensuring that learning goals and lesson plans support each other throughout the educational period, this learning can be much more effectively achieved. The above lesson plans can be a part of this process.

A number of modifications have occurred within the area of arts instruction, leading to a redesigning of the whole curriculum. A few transformations involve modern trends like literacy training via art, worldwide popular culture, 21st-century abilities, social justice, art evaluation, cultural diversity, and interdisciplinary approaches. Teaching Literacy through Art According to Moody-Zoet, art-teaching offers distinctive and useful intellectual behaviors and skill sets which aid in the learning of other academic disciplines. The
Bauhaus After World War I, the nation state of Germany under the direction of architect Walter Gropius created a "consulting art center for industry and the trades" (Bayer 12).

Community Art Education The objective of this study is to answer the question of what are the conservative, liberal, and progressive philosophies undergirding the current (1990-present) debates in community arts education? Specifically, this study will address whom is and whom is not advocating for Arts education and why.

Learning Objectives for Adult Education Managing and Exploiting the Impact of Classroom Diversity in Adult Arts Education As the American population becomes increasingly diverse, so goes classroom diversity (Cooper, 2012). By the end of the current decade, a White majority will no longer exist among the 18 and under age group. This rapid progression towards a plurality has already impacted primary schools, but the trend toward increasing diversity is beginning to affect
Liberal Arts Education Should College Students be required to take Courses Outside of Their Major Field of Study? An education that lacks of a world view may be more harmful than meets the eye. One could reasonably argue that the question of whether diversified educational background has value is highly dependent on what you value. There are a multitude of monetary reasons for an incoming freshman to concentrate on a specific field
