This volume provides teachers with a fresh framework for implementing inquiry-based, substantive art integration across the curriculum, along with the background knowledge and models needed to do this. Drawing on ideas from Harvard Project Zero, the authors make a clear and compelling argument for how contemporary art supports student learning. Subject-specific chapters co-written by teaching scholars include examples of contemporary art with explanations of how these works explore the fundamental concepts of the academic discipline. Concluding with a chapter on an integrated, inquiry-based curriculum inspired by contemporary art, the authors include guidelines for developing art projects teachers can adapt to their students’ interests and needs. This resource is appropriate for art teachers, as well as subject-area teachers who are not familiar with using contemporary art in the classroom. Book Features: <ul>
<li> A model of interdisciplinary curriculum development to integrate art in a substantive, multidimensional way.</li> <li> Many examples of contemporary art, along with information on the artists and their work. </li> <li> Guidance for supporting students in becoming the critical, creative, and self-regulating thinkers described in new Common Core Standards.</li> <li> A free online supplement for meeting CCSS in English Language Arts with contemporary art.</li>

Integrating the Visual Arts Across the Curriculum: An Elementary and Middle School Guide

With lots of examples and color images, this resource is both a foundational text and a practical guidebook for bringing contemporary art into elementary and middle school classrooms as a way to make learning joyful and meaningful for all learners. Marshall shows how asking questions and posing problems spark curiosity and encourage learners to think deeply and make meaningful connections across the curriculum. At the center of this approach is creativity, with contemporary visual art as its inspiration. The text covers methods of creative inquiry-based learning, art and how it connects to the “big ideas” addressed by academic domains, flexible structures teachers can use for curriculum development, creative teaching strategies using contemporary art, and models of art-based inquiry curriculum. Book Features: <ul>
<li>Provides research-based project ideas and curriculum models for arts integration.</li> <li>Shows how Project Zero’s flexible structures and frameworks can be used to develop creative inquiry and an arts integration curriculum.</li> <li>Explains how contemporary visual art connects to the four major disciplines―science, mathematics, social studies, and language arts.</li> <li>Includes full-color images of contemporary art that are appropriate for elementary and middle school learners.</li> <li>Demonstrates how arts integration can and should be substantive, multidimensional, and creative.</li>

Teaching Contemporary Art With Young People: Themes in Art for K–12 Classrooms

This full-color resource will help educators teach about current art and integrate its philosophy and methods into the K–12 classroom. The authors provide a framework that looks at art through the lens of nine themes―everyday life, work, power, earth, space and place, self and others, change and time, inheritance, and visual culture―highlighting the conceptual aspects of art and connecting disparate forms of expression. They also provide guidelines and examples for how to use contemporary art to change the dynamics of a classroom, apply inventive non-linear lenses to topics, broaden and update the art “canon,” and spur creative and critical thinking. Young people will find the selected artwork accessible and relevant to their lives, diverse and expansive, probing, serious, and funny. Challenging conventional notions of what should be considered art and how it should be created, this book offers a sampling of what is out there to inspire educators and students to explore the limitless world of new art. 
Book Features: Indicators and lenses that make contemporary art more familiar, accessible, understandable, and useable for teachers. Easy-to-reference descriptions and over 80 color images from a variety of contemporary artists. Strategies for integrating art thinking across the curriculum. Suggestions to help teachers find contemporary art to fit their curriculum and school settings. Examples of art-based projects from both art and general classrooms, including concepts, goals, materials, scaffolding activities, teacher reflections, and more. Guidance for developing curriculum, including how to create guiding questions to spur student thinking. A compilation of resources, including a dedicated website at teachingcontemporaryart.com.

Biographies & Memoirs

The Illustrated Guide to Integrated Learning explores three topics--the mind, creative inquiry, and the integration of the arts in education. Inspired by the field study books naturalists use to record their findings and conceptualize their ideas, the book combines artwork with scholarship, and imagination with information. The "lens" of the exploration is metaphor. Julia Marshall uses metaphors from nature to bring abstract ideas into the realm of the senses and ground them in something tangible. Viewing ideas and topics metaphorically can also change the way we see them. It can deepen our understanding of things. Each metaphor has a trail to explore; the more you follow that trail, the more you discover. Marshall takes you down her trails and, like a naturalist, explains and illustrates her discoveries along the way.
