"Self-Portraits Through The Ages of Art History" is a course that provides context for English language learners so they may experience self-discovery through the venue of art. It is designed for young adults on the journey college level and can be adapted to all educational levels. When art is incorporated into an ESOL core curriculum it enhances student's engagement, comprehension, increases whole-brain activity, and challenges overall growth in their learning process. Upon completion of the course students will be able to identify and recognize six periods of art history, learn new vocabulary, and be able to express their feelings through the written word, oral discussions, and experience self-discovery through the venue of art. They can make interdisciplinary connections as they explore the life and times of self-portrait artists and create their own art and self-portraits from the perspective of different time periods and artists.
