Class # 9 - Education and the 3 E’s and Art As Experience (Dewey)

Panel Discussion and Presentation

Carl Anthony - Earth House Center - Oakland
Pam Lucker - Peralta Elementary School
Sarah Willner - North Oakland Community Charter School

Pam and Sarah will give an overview of how students are engaged with arts across the curriculum and NOCCS and Peralta. Then, Carl will talk about the three big E’s 1) economy 2) environment 3) equity

Discussion questions:

• What do the 3 E’s have to do with education (is it the 4th E?)
• How are Peralta and NOCCS educating for the 3 E’s
• What are the implications of the arts as a live creature – in these schools, in the larger society?
  

Catching up on Research - How is it going?

Students will give short summaries of their research writing so far, we will discuss as a class any questions or concerns.

Art As Experience: The Live Creature by John Dewey
We will have a reflective conversation on the implications of dissociating art works from the art making process and our every day lives.

Homework - Focus on their research and presentation due next week. Refer to Project Guidelines for details and contact us with any questions.
