Unit 13: Art world debates

This unit asks students to explore three art world debates: using assistants in art production, using potentially unethical materials, and invisible art. Students will be challenged with questions that they must answer and defend based on their perspective and the resources provided. While students are working on these lessons, encourage them to discuss with their classmates and ask questions. There will be ample opportunity to share additional art historical information and pose additional questions to small groups as they discuss.
