Riassunto

"At the core of this book is the development and implementation of a deeper approach to visual art integration in diverse content areas, where, rather than integration being "simply the illustration or re-presentation of a subject," the art substantivelyexplores the "big ideas" addressed by the academic domains, and connects school learning to students' experiences. How do we activate learning and engage all learners? How do we help learners to understand important concepts and issues in the academic domains and grasp how they are connected? This book provides an answer: learning through creative art-based inquiry. It shows how asking questions and posing problems, as opposed to giving answers, sparks curiosity, motivates students to learn, and engages learners in thinking deeply and broadly. It also shows how digging into a topic in playful, imaginative and artful ways enables students to make meaningful connections across the curriculum. The center of the approach is creativity; Its inspiration is contemporary visual art. The book covers: the methods of creative inquiry-based learning; the elements of the academic domains; art and how it connects to the academic domains; flexible structures teachers can use for curriculum development and teaching; creative strategies in contemporary art for learning and making meaning; and models of art-based inquiry curriculum "trails". With lots of examples and ideas for art and inquiry, this book provides a foundation and a guidebook for bringing contemporary art into elementary and middle school classrooms as a vehicle for curriculum integration and as a way to make learning joyful and meaningful for all learners"--
