Agents of the Arts (First Edition)

By Ken Beckwith

Visual Arts Education simplified. To take agency, you have to affect the world. This curriculum guide defines what it means to hold agency, in the arts. Document work according to the time, location, and climate in which works are produced. Learn the right things at the right time, when development calls for them, and you can do it. From schemas, to realism, naturalism and beyond. Follow the trajectory of Modernism all the way up to its Metamodern incarnation today. Accompanied by Ken Beckwith's entirely original artwork, this curriculum guide aligns to the United States' art education standards, as well as the Archdiocese. Each grade's goals provide up to three guiding questions. Each age provides their own developmentally appropriate starter questions when leading a project. Find inside a blank artist statement, charts for documenting artists' work, and of course, one hundred and eighty transitive art verbs, defined for you and your students to take agency in the arts. Use this guide to design projects, and you will meet your students', the nation's, and your governing institution's needs.
