So this is where I start planning my Arts Education Program. I look at art magazines, art works, news articles, online galleries, TED talks, dance troupes, critiques, etc... Really, I just keep my eye out for themes that I find anywhere. I make a note of them. Here is a list of ones that I have found...but not necessarily have turned into an Arts Education Unit of Study. If this is a daunting task for you, I am sure there are enough examples here to keep you going for a few years. I will add to this list during my career, but I am sure I could finish my teaching career with this list right here.
Once I have chosen a theme to work on I have to think about my take on the theme...So this is a good time to talk about Imagination & Relaxation.
