The 2026-27 version of our arts unit is now up and ready to use! It explores how artistic knowledge is created, judged, and sometimes contested – from the ethics of plagiarism and AI-generated art, to how taste, context, and power shape what we value as art.
All 13 lessons live on a Padlet, alongside the unit outline, assessment tracker, faculty email and presentation, and briefing paper, everything you need in one place.
Classic TOK 2026-27: free sample lessons
