I realized that the majority of written resources I have provided have been largely Western/European oriented. And I'm just not all about that. Yeah, that comprises a large component of what we teach in an art class, but let's diversify a bit, yes?
I picked up this text book for an African Art class, and I loved this class soooo much. It was fun, interactive, and learning about culture, context, ritual and religion was just as much a part of the class as learning about art.
One of the course objectives for secondary art education is to teach about a variety of art from different cultures, and foster an appreciation for those artistic expressions. This was a major reason for taking an African Art course.
It's great to see this integration into your top ten. How might you use this resource in your classes?
