Scratchwork: Research Questions

Take 2:

  • What does a strong arts class that integrates the broader topic of visual literacy look like?
  • How does the integration of technology as a medium affect creativity? How does it affect motivation?
  • Does working in digital media lessen the importance of traditional media? Will students devalue traditional media in the lure of the new?
  • Can reading and writing be integrated into the performance process so that it enhances and supports production instead of hinders it? 
  • Does art have to be taught using the E&P in a traditional bauhaus method to be effectively measured? Is this the most effective way to teach students in the 21st century?
  • What bigger ideas does art hold that will be beneficial to students as they mature, decide careers, and engage in a fulfilling life?

  1. I am delighted that you are interested in the digital media/material culture topics. I know you will like the books. I think the following are great questions. Remember you are just free writing and free thinking at this point.
    What more should be taught to round out a curriculum that integrates visual culture? Is there more? Is that enough (or plenty)? What goes along with that? What comes next in advanced classes?
