Class # 6 - Art Fair Presentations

Art Fair research presentations - we used the following protocol to review the presentations:

Presenter

• State your Learning Goals (Questions)
• Start your presentation
  

Viewer Protocol for discussion and feedback:

• We will make one round with "I see..."
• Next round "I think..."
• Next round "I wonder..."

During this response time the presenter will listen to each round. At the end of the final "I wonder..." round the presenter will have time to respond to audience remarks.

HOMEWORK Due March 2, 2009

This will be a light week so you can catch up with other reading and postings. There are 2 things we want you to do:

1. Write a short refection about the Art Fair presentations - what did you learn from this experience both as a listener/viewer and as a researcher/presenter?

1. Read the introduction to Bell Hooks book Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom, page 226 in you reader. This is a short inspiring article. Use the following protocol to respond:

• Find a quote in the reading that resonates with you and write it in your blog.
• Tell why you picked this quote - relay any personal experience that resonated through this quote - why it stood out in the texts for you. Why do you feel it is an important statement in regard to the ideas and aims of art education that Eisner, Oaks and Lipton articles addressed? What is the relationship between these authors thinking around education?
• Bring your quote to class with you on Monday - we will use this to begin our conversation about the reading.
