Some terms and people to look up regarding teaching strategies and philosophies. I've been encouraged to tie my teaching philosophy and my work together. It makes sense, in a practice what you preach way, but I'm not sure all my art needs to be directly reflective of my approach to education. Despite how much folks up here seem to be in love with the word "didactic" I don't get the feeling that education and fine art fit together very well at the academic art table. Meh, not new. That aside, good material and good discussion. Very enjoyable class so far.
Lev Vygotsky, social learning psychologist and educational theory.
Constructivism as a theory of education.
Jean Piaget, child psychology.
Maxine Greene, educational philosopher dealing with aesthetic education.
Joseph Beuys, artist concerned with social experience.
