teaching empathy through art, an experience with janine antoni's work

this experience meant so much to me i still can't sit down to write about it and do it justice. for now, i will share the lesson plan i wrote for a professional development i did at new museum, based on the work of janine antoni.

here's a link to the lesson plan in g:class from the new museum. g:class is the global classroom, an interdisciplinary museum education program that provides in-class and museum opportunities for high school teachers and students to work with professional artists and educators to incorporate contemporary art into core curricula. g:class is designed to enhance critical thinking through peer-group discussions about critical issues that affect the lives of students and to foster the development of creative and professional skills.
