Chapter 8 Review

Chapter eight is all about visual culture and curriculum. Chapter eight discusses what visual culture is. Visual culture is fashion, advertisements, film computer, television, and packaging. Visual culture is "ideas, beliefs, and other conceptual realms that function in and around visual objects." For example, McDonals's is an American culture and custom. Photography is a cultural meditator. Photography is a powerful way to express culture. W.J.T Mitchell challenged the stereotype that visual culture means an end to the distinction between artistic and non-artistic images. He compared Audrey Flacks painting of Marilyn Monroe and a Vogue magazine cover of Renee Zellweger. This challenge has been widely accepted by many artists today. Chapter eight explains everything about visual culture.

Chapter Seven Review

Chapter seven is about art and integrated curriculum. Kathy Lake is famous for making the statement that we should teach art along side another subject. This was a debate and people questioned "why should art curriculum and instruction engage with integrated curriculum?"Clearly, we all know how this debate ended, we now teach social studies and other subjects along with art. Many art lessons would be difficult to teach without giving a background lesson in another subject. For example, the Holocaust Memorial project from chapter four. Teaching a subject with art is typically more powerful than just simply lecturing at students or worksheets. Art is a hands-on activity that allows more students to fully engage in the lessons. Art gives kids understanding of metaphoric expressions that would most likely be overlooked if it wasn't for the arts. Chapter seven teaches the importance of integrated art classes.

Chapter Six Review

Chapter six is about assessment and the curriculum. Assessment is a huge part of planning a lesson. The best way to check for understanding from students is to use an assessment. That is where planning comes in; plan the lesson around how you plan to check for understanding with your students. Using assessments is natural to teaching. Teachers often teach lessons and randomly decide to quiz their students. When planning you should consider the most important aspects of the lesson, and then quiz your students on those main ideas. It is important to know how to check for deeper understanding with your students. Performance tasks are a great way to assess your students deeper understanding. Chapter six discusses how to create effective lesson plans and then assess the students on the key concepts of the lesson.
