  1. Personal Spaces: Students Creating Meaning Through Big Ideas Alli Tipton, Casey Sullivan, and Cassandra Truden

  2. Big Ideas • “Big Ideas are broad concepts such as family, play, or social taboos, which an artist engages with and expresses through art” (Pistolesi, Sakatani, p. 49). • Using big ideas allows students the freedom to interpret the overall subject • Connects curriculum to the individual’s experiences • Using big ideas in the classroom reach and motivate each student

  3. Humans Create Personal Spaces • Pistolesi and Sakatani’s BIG IDEA: humans create personal spaces • In developing their own personal spaces, students researched different artists and styles “By viewing how artists dealt with these issues, our students became aware of the ways artists work with the big ideas of personal spaces” (Pistolesi, Sakatani, p. 49).

  4. Discussion Questions • What are some Big Ideas you might want to use in your classroom and why? • Why do you think they chose to work with personal space? Remember : A big idea is a broad, significant human issue that signifies a multitude of concepts that form the idea!!

  5. ARTISTS USED AS EXAMPLES • EDWARD HOPPER • LIZA LOU • GEORGE SEGAL

  6. The Projects • After researching and discussing personal spaces, students created their own spaces through three different mediums: 1. Locker Art Installation 2. Miniature 3D Tableaus 3. Personal Webpage Parodies

  7. Lockers as Personal Spaces

  8. Miniature 3d Tableaus

  9. Personal Websites

  10. DISCUSSION QUESTION If you’re encouraging students to build personal websites, how much information is too much? Would you talk about the negatives of having a personal website in addition to the positives? FACEBOOK MYSPACE BLOGS

  11. CONCLUDING THOUGHTS • Students enjoyed the assignment; it helped them connect and reflect on personal experiences through research, practice, and assessment. • Research of popular artists allowed students to view different techniques and materials that gave inspiration and new ideas. • Students were able to connect the history of art in relation to the issues that have taken place in different artists artwork.

  12. DISCUSSION QUESTION “Through art, these individualized spaces symbolize and reflect the evolving multiple identities- individual, social, and cultural- who students are, and who they are becoming” (Pistolesi, Sakatani, p. 49). Do you believe this is true? Why? Would you use a project like this in your classroom? Why is identity so important for students to learn and understand?

  13. Activity Pretend that the paper in front of you is one of your favorite personal spaces (Examples: bedroom, high school locker, Facebook page, personal website, future classroom, etc.); draw a picture of this space and explain how it is expressive of you as an individual.
