INTRODUCTION
TEACHING DURING THE PANDEMIC
WITH AN ARTIST’S MINDSET
Understanding students’ motivations is an essential component in creating effective
curricula at a distance. Art teachers know why students show up, and it’s not about
grades. Students may come to class to express their perspectives and experiences,
or they may show up for the opportunity to imagine other worlds. Art teachers have
always responded to these needs by making sure that students’ work is seen and
shared, and by giving students assignments that provide respite from real-life
struggles. If coursework in other disciplines is responsive to the class’s needs and
motivations, students will be likely to show up—and get what they need. O T P
