More DescriptionRather than seeing art as a curricular extra, or a fun break from the curriculum, the authors of Using Art Critically position art, as a tool and toy for learning, rethinking, and outgrowing oneself. Vasquez, Harste & Albers' intent is to position art as a seamless and integralpart of the educative process that creates space for exploring important social issues, events, and injustices from a critical literacy perspective. In so doing working with art from a critical perspective becomes an opportunity to understand curriculum as one way to explore opportunities for change. This book is the first in a series of books on creating critical curriculum. It includes details and examples for 10 art response strategies, for use in the classroom and in teacher education settings, including painting, creating art cards, using collage, puppet making, and creating art pieces made from everyday objects and discarded technology.
