Incorporating art history into the classroom has always been an important component of my teaching. (You have to remember that I "grew up" as a beginning teacher in the era when Discipline Based Art Education [DBAE] was all the buzz.)
Another thing I have found fascinating is how art images are being infused into mass media / visual culture in the last decade. In fact, I made this the focus of my MA thesis in 2009..."Art and the Evolution of Mass Media."
In honor of Edvard Munch's birthday today (1863), I thought I'd share the unit that I developed for my Digital Art History class. (See file below.)
*Helen Frankenthaler was born in 1928. I'm sure there are many great ideas out there to celebrate the work of Frankenthaler. Please share!
