That's Not the Theme! Untangling Art's Most Mystifying Concept - Mark Schoenfeld
Students (and adults!) struggle to identify literary themes for a simple reason: it's hard! This multi-disciplinary residency engages students by exploring parallel themes across multiple art forms and literary genres. One lesson might see students comparing an animated short and song lyrics to a short story, and the next might ask students to write an advertisement for a character from a class novel. This highly adaptable residency, led by a veteran educator and multi-disciplinary artist, is sure to enthrall students while breaking down art's most mystifying concept.
