Chapter 2 Reading Response

Quotes worth thinking about:

"We are not there to replicate what exists in schools; we are there to complement it, or in some cases, subvert it."

"You do play a big role in setting the tone in the room. That's just something that happens when you are in a teaching capacity, even if you are pretty low-key about your role"....... I saw an example of this in a class with Joe. One day he made a comment and labelled it as his opinion, but some people sent emails feeling like they had to accept his opinion just because of the nature of his position as a teacher. He later apologized to the class and acknowledged that there is a sort of weight to his words just because he is the teacher.

"One of the most useful things a teaching artist brings to students is the time, space, and structures that allow students to respond to each other's work."

"The key to generating prompts is specificity...profound and original ideas in the arts, as in other disciplines, most often result from very specific and intense observation and investigation, rarely from the form of vague and poorly defined notions."

Questions:

Why can't removing a student from an art making project be used as a punishment? Or are there some circumstances where that could be the case? What if a student disrespects materials or supplies, shouldn't they be removed from that particular project?
