This blog follows the course of the same name that is being offered by Nassau Tract Teachers Center. We will post our lesson plans and examples of work on this site, as well as posting comments from time to time.
Using art to drive academic learning can be a powerful way to "make meaning" in our students' minds. We do not subscribe to the notion of our students being "empty vessels' that we are going to fill. What usually happens with that approach is that what goes in one ear, rapidly goes out the other--especially after the test!
Our goal is to make our students love learning the way we do. So we will inspire, question, and do our best to infect our children with our enthusiasm and passion for knowledge.
