Sydney R. Walker
Built on a constructivist philosophy of learning, this book explores ways of fostering inquiry and discovery in the studio classroom. The works of contemporary artists are used to help explain the role of big ideas and personal connections in artmaking. Tips on designing meaningful studio instruction and problem-solving strategies, and questions and practical strategies on “unpacking” the artmaking process are included. 160 pages, softcover
