In this article, it tells that as a professional artist or a person who want to be an artist, big ideas are important to the creation and artmaking. Clearly, when we are student, we should develop this skill of big ideas. That can engage students in deeper level of thinking. Thus, how to achieve the high level of art making. First, we should developing big ideas. Students should have an enough knowledge base for working with their attention. Then communicating this idea with other artists is a way so that students can find personal connections to the idea finally. The personal understanding is very important. It is important that we can find overall purposes for artwork of artists from their big ideas. Second, we should build a bridge between big ideas and arkmaking. For this part, we should distinguish the subject matter and big ideas. The big idea give people a conceptual ground for art making. In addition, the subject matter as a way to examining the big idea. On the one hand, the subject matter is different from the big idea. Student can make an art making project by a set of self-imposed rules. At the same time, teacher should choose the conceptual outcome for students so that this process become more effectively. Making a unit plan is also necessary. That can let students have a strong understanding. On the other hand, we should keep the same big idea and make a different subject matter; teacher should encourage students employ a single big idea with more than one subject and investigate those ideas in greater depth. So, through those methods, student can improve the skill of artmaking. Importantly, the way, using the big ideas and essential questions to design the art unit broadens, also can be used in other subject areas.
