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. Ask students what they like to do best during their free play activity time. Tie this extension activity back to the concept of special interest groups.
