Some notes from my meeting with Vancouver Biennale: http://vblearn.ca/online-exhibit.
Biennale
Another medium to plan learning
Metaphorical representations of ideas and concepts that induce reflective thoughts
Cross curricular learning through art
To take learning, expand and challenge students to make differences in their own space
Problem based approach
Engagement, grab onto student imagination, connection to community
Learning to learn cannot be controlled
Learning through the arts vs teaching art
Artists connecting to teachers working with students in diff schools
Guiding questions follow problem based learning
Very large learning platform … culminating with project ideas to better community
Curriculum progress: Open, discovery, learning to learn, creation, action
Art as a process to help them, community based learning
