Students investigate the many interest groups represented among their classmates and their families.
The teacher introduces the idea of the artworld as one important interest group found in nearly every culture. This is the key concept around which this unit, Artworlds , is organized. Students begin their exploration of their school artworld by identifying and recording some of its important places, people, activities, and ideas. Older students are generally very interested in celebrities of the entertainment world and have access to a great deal of information from various media. Some students in L.A. may have seen stars on the streets and in shops and restaurants.
