Using the Arts to Promote Critical Thinking

Although none of us are art teachers, I found this video that seemed to take Art Class to a new level. The instructor's expectations mixed with critical thinking skills were much higher than I expected for this grade. As I watched I got the feeling that the students were really becoming "artists " not just students in a unified art class.  The vocabulary used was impressive and the carry over of critical thinking skills in Art class gave students an opportunity to express themselves in another format.

The website has many videos that can be used by teachers to improve their teaching sills.

    I recommended the video to the students in the Educational Research class, who are in the Multiple Intelligence master's program. A good number of them are art teachers. Thank you for sharing.
