I think my students and I have an enlarged sense of what a text is, which extends beyond traditional literature selections and into other mediums, including those explored in contemporary art. Bringing contemporary art and artists into my classroom offered compelling opportunities for critical analysis, which will undoubtedly benefit the students in the future.
