The number of lessons in that strand could then be adjusted to allow for the extra lesson. Before students explore this theme, which includes activities related to their lives in the future, begin by reflecting on what has shaped or influenced their lives in the past. Remind students that most artists convey a sense of personal vision through their arts expressions.
Many artists develop self-knowledge as they explore and refine their work.
Discuss as a whole group why it is important for artists to reflect on their lives and how their life experiences relate to their arts expressions. Ask students to write down in one of their arts journals some thoughts about how their experiences in personal development could enhance their own arts expressions.
