Nathaniel Stern: Performing Images Into Existence

Abstract

After hearing Donal O'Donoghue's (2010) Manual Barkan Award Lecture at the 50th NAEA National Convention, I could not stop wondering, what would my art classroom look like if I taught about “art of our time”? What would my students' artworks look like if I taught in a way where art was transient, not about objects, but rather experiences? What would my lessons look like? What would my classroom look like? How do I nurture a space where students can experiment and safely fail in the context of schools dominated by high stakes assessments? Answers to these questions are still unfolding in the midst of conversations about new National Core Art Standards, choice-based art education, project-based learning, and maker spaces.
