Abstract	In this paper, the author discusses her use of a form of Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE), a method that is based on the belief that art students of all ages can best learn about art by working with the same type of content that professional artists work with--important ideas that are related to their own lives and the lives of others. This method differs from an "after the masters" approach and from many DBAE art lessons in that students are not encouraged merely to work with the subject matter, techniques, or styles of adult artist models. Instead, artmaking problems are designed around big ideas--important interdisciplinary human issues and ideas. Student artists are encouraged to make personal connections with these big ideas and explorations of these issues become the bases of their art. The artmaking processes of adult artists who work with similar big ideas are studied and sometimes used as models in this approach. However, the emphasis on individual exploration and reflection invites student artists to grapple with and make meaning of these issues in their own lives. This common-sense synthesis of art education approaches suggests that it is possible to engage students both intellectually and intuitively in art production. What is presented here is a brief examination of selected aspects of this approach, which may prove useful to art teachers who are also concerned with guiding their students toward making real art.
