1.  Critical thinking in the arts transfers to multiple lifelong endeavors.

A.  Compare and contrast how art is incorporated into contemporary careers

Objective:  Students will identify careers that require artistic skills.

Warmup
“The majority of the images have been captured in the American Southwest. I have completed Route 66 eight times within the last three years. The care that goes in to preserving its history is endearing. Many businesses rely on bright colors and neon signs in order to attract drivers, especially since the route is no longer the most utilized highway.  I’m constantly hunting for that kitsch. I prefer to take these trips solo, so I can stop anywhere at anytime. There are towns that I may linger in for a week, waiting for the right weather or ideal shooting conditions. It’s important to honor the magnetism of each location – this calls for either quick action or a lot of patience.” -Haley Eichenbaum

Haley Eichenbaum is a digital photographer.  On a piece of scratch paper, list 5 jobs that would use digital photography.  Make sure your first and last name are in the upper right hand corner.  This will be your ticket out.
