Thomas Cabaniss

A class for students interested in learning about teaching. Among the topics explored are multiple intelligence theory, arts education, and the development of human intelligence and aesthetic education. The main teaching tools are activities led by artist/ teachers who guide participants through creative challenges directly linked to problems solved by masters in major works of art. The goal of the class is to aid the participants in developing a teaching style that promotes a sense of ownership of artistic ideas and awakens a curiosity for lifelong learning. Classwork includes weekly reading assignments and two projects.
