Importance of Integrating Arts “With the integration of the arts comes student motivation and engagement.” CCSESA (2014) Integrating Arts Learning with the Common Core State Standards © Creativity at the Core | Artful Discussions | 2.19.15

The Power of Visual Arts “The importance of images and visual media in contemporary culture is changing what it means to be literate in the 21st century. Today’s society is highly visual, and visual imagery is no longer supplemental to other forms of information. New digital technologies have made it possible for almost anyone to create and share visual media.” (continues) © Creativity at the Core | Artful Discussions | 2.19.15

The Power of Visual Arts (continued) “Yet the pervasiveness of images and visual media does not necessarily mean that individuals are able to critically view, use, and produce visual content. Individuals must develop these essential skills in order to engage capably in a visually-oriented society. Visual literacy empowers individuals to participate fully in a visual culture.” ACRL Board of Directors (2011) ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education Retrieved from http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/visualliteracy © Creativity at the Core | Artful Discussions | 2.19.15

A Good Discussion Is Like Art “A good discussion is like art. It may be hard to define it, but you know it when you see it.” Unknown © Creativity at the Core | Artful Discussions | 2.19.15

Why Artful Discussions Matter Think back to a good discussion you once had, either as a student, as a teacher, or as an art docent. With a partner, discuss: How does discussion enhance student learning? How does discussion improve student motivation and engagement? Why is it important for students to have a common language to discuss art? © Creativity at the Core | Artful Discussions | 2.19.15

Reflection and Goal Setting Think about how you will apply what you learned in this workshop. How will you incorporate text-dependent questions during your art tours? How will you encourage students to use the language of art (Elements of Art and Principles of Design)? How will you use discussion moves to move the discussion from Description to Judgment? Record your goal on a Post-it Note and be prepared to share. © Creativity at the Core | Artful Discussions | 2.19.15
