I love the big idea of identity and the students are responding well to both the VTS images and the assignments. They are really getting into the portraits that they are taking and are enjoying the process of learning about themselves through inventories and tests. The images that I have used this semester have been really great for discussion. The students have been so intrigued with the images and the depth and maturity of the discussions has been impressive. Their growth from the first discussion until now makes me a very proud teacher. I'm not wanting this unit or year to end.
Winner simplifies saying that the goal of art is about understanding and the studio habits of mind involve observation and reflection. VTS is about observation and reflection in order to gain understanding.
