Art teaching methodologies, instructional strategies, materials, equipment, techniques, and subject matter appropriate to these age groups are investigated through reading, discussion, responsive writing and application.
Topical Outline
The course is taught in both a seminar and studio format. Students will read, discuss and write about art education theory. They will practice art instruction and application through a model unit of instruction. The student will apply their knowledge and skill of art history, criticism, aesthetics and art making in the development of a teaching philosophy for art education, the creation and presentation of units of instruction using computer and technology expertise, the development of a professional portfolio and the transfer and application of theoretical issues in art education to practical applications. The student will be expected to take their in-depth knowledge of art appreciation, history, criticism and art production and organize it into sequential learning experiences appropriate to students of middle and high school developmental levels.
