Dbae is a base learn It is afterall another thought to giving
expressesion of thought their most relevant meaning. If it takes only 1
way to get a a meaning that has depth for your students, then good.
Soemtimes it takes all 4 views to provide the needed light-bulb.
Heavens, if the proponents of DBAE felt we were held rigidly they would
shake. At the fiber of all art and its study is mutiple framing of the
world. Make the connectionwith your students. Share your excitment with
them. and hesitte not to rely on that foremost. Eisner is a guru of
mine. His recent stuff on cognition theory is exciting. its funny he
always loosens the wild thoughts in me. Different interpretation, or was
it the context I'm in, or the hisory he was in? :) Enjoy the week.
