Reading Images in Common Core


Hearing Mark Graham and Dan Barney speak about Common Core was an informative conversation. It did in fact shift the way that these can be brought to our attention. Literacy. Not reading. Literacy in what, though, art. Literacy in art is not just limited to text. Seems so simple and obvious. I enjoyed their conversation about how Common Core threats should not be threatening. Literacy in a framework of reading and analyzing and understanding is what art is about. This is what art is. Critiquing art, viewing art, making art involves literacy, perhaps not in the same way as English, but this is how artists read art.
