Making Thinking
Looking through what we have accomplished this year so far, and I mean when I say we, my students and I. The words agency and agent and making have come through very clearly. How is what I am teaching now different in some way from the way I was teaching before. The endeavor is to create and maintain the ongoing contextual touchstone for the students. Searching around really to see what is up, I found this wonderful blog post from Agency by Design and Making Thinking. There are times in the classroom that I feel imparting the responsibility to the visual world--meaning what we put out there matters--is all I am really teaching. And sometimes that is enough. Making thinking and AbD are very interesting movements in the studio practice approach to art education. They bring a social responsibility to art making.
This is a great view into making thinking and design thinking. http://makingthinkinghappen.wordpress.com/tag/agency/
