Topic Limits in the Classroom


I think that it’s interesting what schools find appropriate and inappropriate. In my fieldwork assignment we had a conversation about the school’s policy for student artwork. No monster art. That was there rule, which conflicted with one of the student’s work in another class. I understand the need for appropriateness s in school, however I don’t know if I agree with limiting content in and expressive media. If you can find a conceptual meaning for it and if it’s done in a healthy way, then what is the issue besides the image of what they are projecting. Well what if art that contains real meaning and purpose seems dark? Are you going to fail a student for tackling a difficult, perhaps abject, topic?
