There are many ways art teachers use it in their practice, inspiring discussion when kicking off a lesson or as a daily warmup with the students for example. To dive deeper into this topic The Creativity Department turned to Davis’s Art Historian and Image Curator for another Coffee with Karl episode. In this episode, they discuss just how important art history is in today’s classrooms. Dive into the relevance of art history and how it is used as a tool to shine a light on underrepresented artists, movements, and cultures in the world. Hear how you can use Karl’s expertise to easily incorporate art history into your program!
