1. The original title, "Change: Reinventing Self & Concepts," was modified to be, "Change: Reinventing Perceptions & Concepts of Self."
- The feedback indicated that not only the title but also some of the content implied a perspective that children have "imperfections" and need to fix them. The title and activities have been edited to reflect the intent that children have a "private" self and a "public" self, and that through art and art making they can gain better understandings of their own perspectives of who that public vs private self is. As well, they can use art to envision how this self-perspective might affect their concepts of the roles they might play in each of these contexts. In student-friendly language students would contemplate the following:
A. "How do I perceive myself in the role of (student, sibling, child, community member, artist, designer, teammate)? B. How does this perception affect my concept of what it is to be a (student, sibling, child, community member, artist, designer, teammate)? |
