Art & Design Education

Student Artwork  |  Teaching Philosophy  |  Beyond the Studio  
Across all grade levels, each project has an "essential question" to guide students and learning throughout the unit. The purpose of essential questions is not to have one answer, but rather to bring out new questions and new opportunities for exploration and curiosity. Each promotes divergent thinking, and thus endlessly diverse responses to the same question. The learning that takes place in this process not only helps students find their personal voice and technical skill in art, but even more importantly, helps serve as a metaphor for other experiences that they will have throughout their lives. 

Sample essential questions: 
How do things transform?
How do our differences connect us?

How can an object create an experience? 
How do we know what's real?
