Course Details
Course Description: This studio class will take a single product, fabric, and work out the historical, economic, scientific, social and mathematical properties that are inherent in its use and production through hands-on art making. Each session will focus on methods for curriculum integration including: math, science, social studies and literacy. Educators will learn teaching practices that provide for the needs of all student learners by creating brave learning spaces to explore alternative materials that represent and affirm student identities for independent thinking and problem solving. This course will introduce educators to teaching practices linking arts integration and the Five Core Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Competencies and the six pillars of a brave space exploring how fiber/fabric is made and used around the world to affirm student identities: creating independent works for self-awareness examination, independent thinking and problem solving, time management in designing and completion of artworks through setting and achieving positive goals; creating social awareness by sharing feelings and showing empathy through collaborating on projects and conducting positive critiques for relationship skill development within a culturally responsive sustaining context. Participants create a series of hands-on art projects that reflect the individual’s unique cultural experiences.
