For all the years that I have been a college professor I have annually taught an introductory course in art teaching methods. The mode-of-operation Contemporary Art Curricular Inventions aims-not to show students how to write curriculum-but rather to amass an interminable collection of idea seedlings-at the beginning of their teaching practice-for years of art teaching through the languages of contemporary art. These seedlings-in their essence-are the quick product of imaginative contemporary art analysis in order to quickly learn its vocabulary, syntax, and possibilities. This is a search in contemporary art for permissions for our work and the work or our students. Not unlike a scholarly literature review, we look at what has been done before to see what can be done next. It may be where the art teacher goes from being a an educational professional to a creative practitioner who just happens to enjoy the challenges and benefits of a professional post.
