I think Olivia Gude's ideas are really interesting and give good solutions to many different problems in art education and education in general. She her idea for creating curriculum are specific because they outline specific principles for students to learn and understand but they are also open enough that they can be used in many different ways. The changes that she suggests are important to understanding art and allowing students to create meaningful art.
I do sometimes wonder though, if her ideas don't give students the time to really master technical skills and the use of certain mediums.
One of my favorites of her ideas having a spirit of play in the classroom. I think that this is a very important part of making art that is easy to forget when we are constructing curriculums or in a public school setting.
