Lesson 4 reflections

How will a choice-based art education with design thinking create a dynamic process of learning for art students that will cultivate them into life-long learners?


My qualitative research (microenthnography?) methods of class instructions would be empirical. Without intervention, I will journal and photograph works from observing students artmaking within a choice-based studio; and I will journal and photograph another class where students will implement the design thinking process into a choice based studio environment. The theme or topic will be identical. Students present their work to class and I will record their reflections. Data collecting will include dates, times, gender, age, class grade, curriculum sequence, lesson plan objectives, emerging perspectives, and informal patterns.
