In recent years a topic of STEAM vs STEM keeps coming up. Even though I believe STEAM Education will be great for Art Education but I struggle how it will look like and how to convince the policymakers that STEAM is the way to go. So I would like your input to this questions What do you think STEAM Eduction should look like and how will STEAM impact Art Education as a whole?
As an Arts Educator I truly believe in the power of the arts to help students to learn and stay in school. Here is an example of that power in action.
This school is a good example of why we need to turn STEM into STEAM. What do you think?
The Arts have a very important role in student learning and success in school and life. Even though the arts make STEM possible, many educational gurus believe and support STEM to improve student learning while leaving the arts in the dust. Without the arts there is no steam to make STEM go, in my heart I believe it is time to turn STEM into STEAM. What do you think?
The recent exhibition on at the Denver Art Museum “Becoming Van Gogh” will be the inspiration for my students as they are learning, studying, interpreting and evaluating Van Gogh through his letters and his art over the next few months. To kick off this exciting project I am sharing a video from the Denver Art Museum that was posted on their Facebook Page.
Great video to show students on first day in the art room to encourage them to believe they can do it if they believe.
