| Description | (May 2009) The decision to select this unit of work for close scrutiny was based on a desire to realise the considerable potential of the NZ Curriculum document to make learning for students exciting, authentic and engaging. This “political stickers” unit references contemporary artist models and develops the student’s ability to communicate ideas about social and political issues. The street art genre chosen is intended to engage a range of students from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. Throughout this unit students are invited to build on their own experiences and perspectives and to share their responses with others. Students are able to investigate the street art genre and are able to investigate how such works are made viewed and valued. The unit is however not dependent on the specified context and genre but could instead be adapted and modified to meet the needs of any students in any classroom. Authors: Kirsten Price, Evan Jones |
