For example, most cultures include interest groups that can be classified as worlds of entertainment, finance, politics, and sports. These interest groups are made up of smaller interest groups. For example, in Los Angeles the automotive world is a very important interest group. While the people in these interest groups share the common culture of Los Angeles, they also engage in activities and have ideas related to their special interest. An important interest group in nearly every culture is the artworld.
Every culture has people whose special interest is art.
Entering a culture's artworld is a pathway to understanding its culture and its art. The Understanding Artworlds curriculum unit takes an inquiry-based approach. These two questions are part of a comprehensive set of questions for inquiring into art that provide a framework for the Worlds of Art curriculum resource. Los Angeles Connections Artworlds was developed as part of the Worlds of Art curriclum resource by ArtsEdNet for LA Culture Net . The Worlds Within Worlds lesson and the Cruising the LA Artworld lesson of the Understanding Artworlds unit highlight artworld places in the greater Los Angeles area.
