Lesson Plans -- Week 7


"The arts teach children that
in complex forms of problem solving
purposes are seldom fixed,
but change with circumstance and opportunity.
Learning in the arts requires the ability
and a willingness to surrender to
the unanticipated possibilities of the work
as it unfolds." - Elliot Eisner
