Through the masters class we now have to conjure up a research question. Ideally for me that would pertain to what is present in my classroom relating to studio work or curriculum around studio since my masters is in curriculum and design.
I am imagining my journal entries will entail the what of curriculum. Advanced, gifted students are finishing off their Matisse projects and will be done by Monday. Tuesday we need to fold them out into a looking and drawing assignment, training their hands to draw what their eye sees, and also make it meaningful, somehow self-referential. Perhaps the culminating project will be in a different media - white on black paper, a reverse image. Is there a way I could have this as a beginning of many layers of exploration that become something greater - develops into an amazing collage type artwork?
I need a two week lesson to absorb the faster students and allow the majority students ample time to wrap up their first assignments without feeling rushed. The following week the student teacher will teach clay whistles for her first university observation. My curriculum right now is defined by when the observation of a lesson needs to take place. It coincides with that saying: if you don't have an agenda you follow someone else's agenda.
