How we bring ART into the classroom.

Quality arts curriculum is thus based in belief in the transformative power of art and critical inquiry. -Olivia Gude

Gude writes that by their nature art and the art education field are always changing. While this makes teaching a challenge for the art teacher, it also makes the art classroom an extremely relevant place for the student. No "How to Use Art Everyday" posters needed. Important in the art classroom is the way of thinking and approaching relevant themes creatively. Like Gude says, we don't want students to think art is only about line, color, or form. Art can bring more to the table. This is what Gude is showing us with her Principles of Possibility.
