About Me
I am creating an online course for the teaching of art and architecture in a unique way. This is a stand alone course and a course that will add to history courses on a global basis. If you go to ahaafoundation.org you can check out one or two of the micro-lessons and get back to me. This subject, Art History is left out of most schools and yet it will enrich history, geography and literature courses. What I am producing does not have to be used as a course it can be used as a research resource for other courses. It is question based which provides for lesson plans for teachers. I would like the students to hear the music that would go with the micro lesson they are studying.

What is not easily clear is that I want the students and teachers to make something after they have studied the information in each micro-lesson. I feel that they will get a much better understanding of what they have just learned. Learn something, make something, and make music about the work you have just studied. I think that these micro lessons provide a look into the culture of each society over time. This course is free and I am looking for comments and collaboration.

It is important to me to find a way to let teachers know about the work I am doing as it is not a lesson plan, it is a course. It is not the usual art history course as it works its way around the world. I would love to have an interested group that will cheer me on and add input or just do something.

I hope you have time to look at ahaafoundation.org which is the art history site.

I look forward to hearing from you. 
Warmly,

    Dear Katherine,

    What a wonderful site! Your examples of prehistoric art are lovely. It is like you have done all the leg work (research) and all I have to do is sit back and enjoy- so nice. I have bookmarked your site so I can look through it thoroughly. Thank you for the site, and thank you for the friendship!

    Aloha,

    Absolutely! Thank you. I love the history of art. Schools are big on connecting subjects in the curriculum. Your project sounds like a great way to do just that.

    Hi Katherine, I admire the work that you are doing on your website. I am not sure, however, that my school will be useful to you. I work at a K-5 elementary school?

    Dear Katherine,

    Thank you. I see that you have some experience with Skype. Do you have specific people and or organizations that you contact in other countries? I would like for the teaching professionals enrolled in the course to use Skype. Do you have any ideas on how to develop a successful hybrid course?
    Would you be interested in collaborating with the teaching professionals in my course using Skype?

    Thank you again.
    Sincerely,
    Aries Cobb

    Hi Katherine. I am definitely interested in collaborating with you. I am currently teaching A Brave New World. We just started the book and I think that the students might appreciate some visuals. Let me know any ideas that you have. I am open to anything.
