Conceptual
art, sometimes simply called conceptualism, is art in which the concept
or idea involved in the work take precedence over traditional
aesthetic, technical, and material concerns. In other words, it is art
in which the idea presented by the artist is considered more important than the finished product, if there is one.

FIRST LESSON PLAN
Students will use this experience to write their first lesson plan.
The lesson plan will be written by the group.
The lesson plan does not have to follow a specific format.
Students will write the lesson plan intuitively.
At the end students will share their work.

Article: Drawing on an Outdated Theory? by Jess Dorn It is sometimes said that our brain consists of a left hemisphere that excels in intellectual, rational, verbal, and analytical thinking and a right hemisphere that excels in sensory discrimination and in emotional, nonverbal, and intuitive thinking. However, in the normal brain, with extensive commissural interconnections, the interaction of the two hemispheres is such that we cannot dissociate clearly their specialized functions. Questions 1.

The class will be introduced to National Geographic's Explorer Wade Davis who teaches about what calls the ethnosphere, a word he uses to describe the imaginative contributions of humanity to the planet. He makes emphasis on people's stories. They are global resources, just like air, water, and green life. Just like the biosphere, the ethnosphere is also threatened by rampant modernization and globalization.
