Art Education Toolkit Statement
While creating my toolkit, I wanted to keep it simple and organized in a way that makes sense to me. The layout I chose is the standard Tumblr blog theme and adapts to both desktop and mobile devices. When opened, the blog has multiple columns and allows for me to access specific, artworks, themes, and readings. For this, I preferred everything in front of me rather that organized into folders, where I may not be able to find them. If there are multiple links in one section, they are all related, however, I kept a lot of videos and artworks separate as well. For me, this toolkit acts as a place where some of the artworks, readings, and other inspiration from this class as well as future classes, can be compiled together for me to use in my practice. 
The links on my blog feature many videos, artworks, and articles that I would like to have for future reference. The information in these can contribute to discussions about race, gender, culture, and identity as well as other social and political topics and current events. Since it is a Tumblr blog I can also like and reblog related posts that exist on the site and continue adding relevant materials to my toolkit. I’d like to continue adding and working on my toolkit so that I continue to have a space with relevant resources. Most of the links on my Tumblr blog also relate to the unit I have written. 
The unit plan I wrote is based on the theme of Identity and is primarily a photography/digital photography lesson. Similar ideas and themes could be adapted into a drawing or painting lesson but would take more time and depend on student’s prior knowledge of portraiture and still lives. The digital photography aspect allows for the focus to be on portraying someone in their real-world setting. The unit plan asks students to think about and discuss the portrayal of different people in historical and contemporary contexts. The two artists focused on are Catherine Opie and Andre Wagner. Catherine Opie’s representation of Elizabeth Taylor without a figure and Andre Wagner’s style of portraiture with figures will add to a broader discussion of identity and representation. How do you represent yourself? How do you represent someone else?
