In constructing a theoretical framework for an art education curriculum of the future, the primary objective is promoting awareness, mutual understanding, and collective responsibility to one another and the world in which we live. In arriving at this framework, the author found direction in the ethicist Kwame Appiah's (2017) suggestion that sometimes "in thinking about the world, truth isn't what you need as much as idealizations which are useful untruths" (p. xii) to guide us in being better than we think we are capable of being. This led to the proposal of a pedagogy that explores human perspective through three lenses: what it means to have consciousness, a sense of morality, and the effects of developing technology on our phenomenological view of the world.
