Curriculum Planning Projects Inspired by Artists’ Work

Dr. Kathy Browning will present Curriculum Planning Projects Inspired by Artists’ Work that groups of her B.Ed. Art Education students created in the Faculty of Education, Memorial University of Newfoundland. Students wrote lesson plans and created exemplars in a variety of traditional and digital media inspired by artists’ work, primarily from Newfoundland and Labrador. Kathy will also share some examples from Visual Arts students in the School of Education, Laurentian University. Each group chose a practising artist, researched their methods and motives with studio visits and interviews. This is an empowering assignment for students, artists, and teachers of Visual Arts. Kathy will share some of these artistically inspired PowerPoint presentations.
