Evocative Pedagogy Bricolage Curriculum Common Core
1. with thoughts on Common Core
and Next Generation Standards
a presentation by Olivia Gude
2. ↳ On
what
basis
do
we
make
decisions
about
what
to
include
and
what
to
leave
out
of
today’s
art
curriculum?
😳
↳ One
can’t
answer
this
question
any
longer
by
simply
saying,
“We
include
the
basics,
the
fundamentals.”
↳ Because......
3. ↳ Because......
↳ For
at
least
30
years
there
have
been
😳
many
knowledgeable
people
in
the
world
of
art
and
art
education
who
believe
that
focusing
on
elements
and
principles,
traditional
media
and
realist
drawing/
painting
is
not
a
sufficient
introduction
to
the
complexities
of
artistic
practice
in
today’s
global
societies.
4. ↳ The
field
of
art
education
must
change.
↳ Because......
😳
↳ There
is
no
guarantee
that
art
education
will
be
considered
an
important
aspect
of
contemporary
schooling
if
we
do
not
create
a
field
that
is
perceived
as
relevant
to
contemporary
cultural
and
educational
concerns.
5. People
gain
insights
into
the
meanings
of
artworks
by
analyzing
subject
matter,
formal
and
structural
characteristics,
contextual
information,
the
use
of
media
and
various
art
making
approaches.

Common
Core
8. The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear
understanding of what students are expected to learn, so
teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them.
The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the
real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young
people need for success in college and careers.
.....
9. ....the Standards also lay out a vision of what it means to be a
literate person in the twenty-first century.
Indeed, the skills and understandings students are expected to
demonstrate have wide applicability outside the classroom or
workplace.
10. Students who meet the Standards readily undertake the close,
attentive reading that is at the heart of understanding and enjoying
complex works ....
They actively seek the wide, deep, and thoughtful engagement
with high-quality literary and informational texts that
builds knowledge, enlarges experience, and broadens worldviews.
They reflexively demonstrate the cogent reasoning and use of
evidence that is essential to both private deliberation and
responsible citizenship in a democratic republic.

Ask
2
questions:
49. ↳ Does
this
curriculum
support
students
in
engaging
and
making
personally
satisfying
and
meaningful
works
of
art,
craft
and
design?
😳
50. ↳ Does
this
curriculum
adequately
represent
a
range
of
the
art,resources,
aesthetic
practices
and
cultural
concerns
in
this
society
at
this
time?
😳
55. ↳ Criteria
for
quality
projects
↳ Value
engaging
in
authentic
artistic
processes
over
making
facsimiles.
↳ Value
contemporary
practices
of
a
medium,
over
curriculum
that
merely
recapitulates
the
history
of
the
medium.
↳
Value
utilizing
skills,
forms,
and
vocabulary
in
actual
contexts
over
de-‐contextualized
exercises
and
recipes.
↳
Value:
investigating
over
symbolizing.

do
we

or

How
do
we

ANSWER

75. 😳
It
often
works
best
to
introduce
artistic
practices
through
sequences
of
projects
that
develop
sensibilities,
build
skills,
situate
within
historical
contexts
and
draw
out
cultural
implications.
Projects
are
not
mere
Exercises.
Projects
have
intrinsic
value.
Projects:
individual
or
collaborative
enterprise
planned
and
designed
to
achieve
an
aim.

to
do
in
order

80. MOVE THE PAINT!
Rapidly take responsibility for the entire surface.
Some of required activities in the painting exercises:
Paint with the brush in your non-dominant hand.
Paint standing as far away as possible from the easel .
Paint as if you have no joints in your arm.
Paint with your brush in a fist that is placed under your chin.
82. At a certain moment the canvas began to appear to one American painter
after another as an arena in which to act.
What was to go on the canvas was not a picture, but an event.

146. Neatness does not count.
