This track begins with a unit on art careers. The stated Learning gap is, due to the limited employment opportunity in the area students are not exposed to many careers that involve art and therefore do not see art as an important area of choice. The unit "Careers in Art" was chosen because students will be able to evaluate different careers in art and see what type of education and skills are involved in them. The TN Curriculum Frameworks for visual art grades 6-8 states Children need many opportunities to look at and talk about art. From looking at works of art, children learn to perceive and respond to the AESTHETIC qualities found in art. They learn that children and adult artists work in similar and different ways and create different symbols. Children who are exposed to works of art, REPRODUCTIONS of art, and works produced by other children, will learn to discuss their own preferences and ideas about visual forms. They learn that there will be responses and perceptions that are different from their own and to respect these differences. I chose this unit because it will hopefully help students become more aware that the things they learn in school could be used in a job and the research process they will be using will help them to secure a position in the future. Links #2 through #5 are sites where students can evaluate and research various careers in art. They will evaluate job descriptions, education and skills, and do job search for a career.
