Best Intentions
● Learn about and connect with cultures that are different from your own.
● History lesson to understand the past to better create the future.
● Making a medium based lesson more rich with meaning.
Question: What are your best intentions?
![Page 16: VAEA 2014: Best Intentions Missing the Mark](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060200/5598c4c41a28abc67e8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Missing the Mark
● Finishing the art is more important than learning the history.
● Hesitation from depth in lesson because of lack of knowledge.
● Assuming you do have all the knowledge without doing in depth research.
● Focusing on Elements and Principles.
Question: What are your experience with educators “missing the Mark?”
![Page 17: VAEA 2014: Best Intentions Missing the Mark](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060200/5598c4c41a28abc67e8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Using disrespectful materials● UnsanitaryToilet paper rolls - germsFood - wasteful
● IrreverentThese are usually sacred items. Make sure there is thought and meaning put into the materials.

Losing sight of the Big Idea
● Focus on the Big Idea and culture. Not the Elements and Principles.
● It might turn into a beautiful artwork, but what is it teaching the students about appropriating other cultures in the future?

Origins Story Storytellers speak of the Spider Woman, known as Asibikaashi; she took care of the children and the people on the land. Eventually, the Ojibwe Nation spread to the corners of North America and it became difficult for Asibikaashi to reach all the children. So the mothers and grandmothers would weave magical webs for the children, using willow hoops and sinew, or cordage made from plants. The dreamcatchers would filter out all bad dreams and only allow good thoughts to enter our mind. Once the sun rises, all bad dreams just disappear.[4] American ethnographer Frances Densmore writes in her book Chippewa Customs (1929, republished 1979, pg. 113):
