In my Intro to Art Education class, my group and I had made a web consisting of these five aspects of education: Contextual Environment, Teacher's Actions, Students Actions, Ongoing Processes, and Student Development. With the aid of articles that were assigned to us in class, we began to collaborate contemporary approaches to art education. One contemporary approach my group and I were concerned with was, as Elliot Eisner states "Education Can learn from the arts that open-ended tasks permit the exercise of imagination, and the exercise of imagination is one of the most important of human aptitudes...". What I personally see valuable in these concerns are that without the arts, students and teachers alike will not be able to grow to their full potential. They won't be able to see the extent that their imagination can carry them, and with that help create an idea into an object that you can see or hold.
