Theory and Aesthetics Syllabus
8th Grade GT Elective-Theory Aesthetics
During this semester you will engage in deep conversation that supports the “universal responsibility” and “intense individuality” that usually is accompanied with our minds. A curriculum including philosophy, aesthetics, psychology, and neuroscience will be used as the springboard for these conversations. The class will be driven by goals you set according to your ALP(advanced learning plan) and a multiple intelligence test which you will demonstrate via a Passion Project. With your WordPress academic portfolio, we will create core class extensions that will engage divergent thinking and organizational skills that strengthen executive functioning and autonomy. There will be an online literacy circle component to investigate the book Incognito, by David Eagleman. You will be in focused strength area groups that will culminate with interdisciplinary multi media projects as well. I am very excited to be working with you. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
Thank You
