I really connected to the Gude reading this week. It really spoke to the way I am trying to make my teaching and tasks that I am asking students to complete. I want students to use their voice and make art that speaks. For my digital project, I made two Thinglink images. One represents my old way of teaching. It includes student work examples from projects that were focused on the elements and principles. The results are expectedly convergent. I added text quotes from Gude that spoke to me and summed up my thinking about why I began to realize that this way of teaching was inadequate. The second Thinglink "A New Paradigm" showcases student work after I transitioned to more post-modern expression based teaching. The images are richer and have more depth. I can see student voices start to come through. In this image, I included quotes from the Gude article that spoke to me about ways the Principles of Possibility open up avenues for student expression. Many of these, I had been doing in my classroom without knowing there was a scholarly basis for them.
