- Do you go to art school and want to know how other art schools teach the same discipline?
- Are you majoring in one artistic discipline and wanting to try another, without having to waste credits?
- Do you not go to art school, but wish you did?
- Do you love your art school education and want to share your experience with others?
If you have answered yes to one of these questions, then welcome!
I have created this blog to be the starting point for a movement.
My intention is to make art education just a little bit more open by giving art students and even teachers a place to post lesson plans that they believe are super-conducive to artistic development. Obviously, you can't get a whole art school education on the internet, but you can see the skeleton of one and build your own at home, if art school is otherwise (for one reason or another) not a viable option.
The goal is to change the world but the plan is simple: Go to school. Pay attention, do well. Then at the end of the semester take an hour or so to type out a little paraphrasing, reteaching, or even complete restructuring of your favorite classes so that people who aren't in your school can follow in your footsteps. Your reward is just as simple: You get instant access to a library full of lesson plans from all sorts of disciplines provided by skilled students just like yourself.
Disciplines covered range from drawing, painting, illustration, printmaking, filmmaking, animation, graphic design, dance, music, theater, creative writing, art education itself and anything else one can think of.
Over time, this project will evolve into something much more user-friendly. A free internet forum and/or a special email address will provide students like you with a chance to submit lesson plans, while a coordinated effort featuring a facebook group and a deviantart group will provide us all with a system for not only getting lesson plans, but actually TRYING THE LESSONS AND SUBMITTING THEM FOR CRITIQUE BY PEERS.
Stay tuned, because this is going to become fun.
