Break Out Session with Jeremy Holien
Critical Response with Laura Youngbird's Artwork
Artistic literacy is the knowledge and understanding required to participate authentically in the arts. Artistic literacy requires students to engage in all of the artistic processes (create, perform/present/produce, respond, and connect).

MN American Indian Dance - Lesson Exemplar
The 6-8 Arts Standards include the benchmark requiring students to: Compare and contrast the connections among works in dance, their purposes and their cultural, historical and social contexts, including the contributions of Minnesota American Indian tribes and communities (Dance 6.1.3.1.1 )
As a starting point for meeting that benchmark, this model lesson uses two videos Women's Fancy Shawl Dance in different settings and contexts along with suggested tools for examining the video:

Liz Lerman's Four Questions
Liz Lerman is a choreographer, performer, writer, educator and speaker who been the recipient of numerous honors, including a 2002 MacArthur "Genius Grant" Fellowship and a 2011 United States Artists Ford Fellowship. A key aspect of her artistry is opening her process to various publics from shipbuilders to physicists, construction workers to ballerinas, resulting in both research and outcomes that are participatory, relevant, urgent, and usable by others. All of her projects are framed from these three essential questions, to which we have added two questions focusing on teacher practice.
