Visual Arts
The visual arts foster student creativity and artistic intention, bridging the gap between creative vision and execution. With plurilingual pedagogies, students are encouraged to bridge another gap--that of their linguistic conceptions of the creative discipline, allowing them to express and promote their artistic works in various venues, collaborating with others who hold various artisitc visions.
On this page, you will find a teacher's perspective on using plurilingual pedagogy in the Visual Arts classroom and a lesson plan merging plurilingual pedagogy with the discipline.
