"Teaching Conversations, Contemporary Art, and Figure Drawing and Graphic Novels as Contemporary Art by Mark Graham
"Educational structures that encourage ideas to bump together characterize progressive learning situations." "Directing attention to the details of human anatomy can still create wonder and amazement." The second reading was also very interesting to me. I had never really thought of graphic novels as contemporary art before, but after reading I can see how beneficial they could be in an art classroom. Graphic novels can have such a wide variety of art styles, which can encourage students. They can also encourage students to think more about narrative. Some quotes from this article that really stood out to me include: "Graphic novels illustrate the potential of the human heart and imagination. they create windows into the lives of strangers and make their experiences meaningful." "Which art objects might motivate students to construct new meanings from their experiences? What works of art will nourish their curiosity and help them to see the world with compassion and appreciation?" "In these books, art making becomes a way to negotiate the difficulties of growing up and render human frailties, fears, and aspirations palpable."
