Education

Ages 13 to 15
Students can be asked the following question: in what ways can art serve the artist’s message? Next, the teacher can divide the class into small groups, asking them to think about a message they would like to share and then transpose it into a work of art. A final presentation in front of the class will determine whether the method chosen has served the message well; if necessary, the group can analyze what went wrong.
