I currently feel that I focus on the formalist side of art in my teaching of a lesson. When I was writing my lesson plans for the most recent assignment, elementary, middle, and high school, I found myself applying standards that primarily applied to standards of creating. In the other area of standards, presenting and responding, I lacked to find connections to my lessons, they were loosely there but not firmly planted in my lessons. In presenting and responding standards the the contextual component is where the creative and critical thinking, connecting and relating art and art making to a deeper and richer art learning experience. Currently my lessons touch on the foundation of the art history behind the meaning of making the work. The history of why we were led to give this material or idea time to roll around in our heads or on paper.
