Blog Entry #2


  1. The big idea that my MUMAA artwork "The Joy of the Waters”  by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth would be that of freedom.
  2. The way I would utilize this piece in  a "juicy" Tiger Artist lesson would be by opening the lesson up with posing a question to my students:
  • What are somethings that make you feel trapped? 
  • To then push students learning further I would have them discuss the meaning of trapped
  • Next we would could discuss the different types of traps there are. 
  • Then I would bring the students to the gallery to see "The Joy of the Waters”  by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth and VTS the piece.
  • From here I will send students on the endeavor of creating an artwork that shows them breaking free of their traps that we discussed earlier.
  • Then hopefully through discussion, questioning, answering and instructional guidance my students would create an artwork that shows themselves breaking free and allowing a therapeutic awaking to happen in the classroom.
      3. The essential questions my students could possible investigate could be:
  •  How does one begin to escape those traps?
  • What does this trap represent or mean to me?
  • What would happen if I escape?
  • How does this trap look?
