Glazing and Critique and Museum Lesson Plan Alert!



Since no one came to glaze this past week, we have been given another chance! Aaron will let us glaze the first half hour to hour of our class and he will have the work fired by Wednesday. You can pick everything up then.
Also, since we didn’t make critique appointments this semester, bring to class any work that has not been photographed or stored in my closet.  I will pick names randomly for critiquing.
Email your lesson plan to Juliahealy@aol.com if you can. Otherwise, bring it in on Monday. This counts as 20% of your grade, so make sure it’s good!

272 Syllabus (Fall 2012)

Art for Teachers of Children—AR272--Fall/Winter 2012
Professor Julia Schmitt Healy
http://artforteachersofchildren.blogspot.com

Introduction: This hands-on course will explore art materials and techniques for K-6 teachers. Students will learn how to develop age-appropriate lessons using collage, drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. Both stand-alone art projects and projects that integrate art with other subjects will be emphasized. Students will create a portfolio of their work and keep sketchbook/journals during the semester.

Attendance and Lateness: Attendance is mandatory. If you will not be available to attend this class every week, please consider taking it at another time. No make-up work will be allowed in class. Three absences (excused or not) are grounds for a failing grade or automatic withdrawal.

Since this is a hands-on class, demonstrations are important, so please be on time. Two tardies will be counted as one absence. If you will have an ongoing scheduling conflict, please discuss it with me at the beginning of the semester.

“Do-Nows”: Since we have both semester sections in this class, one strand will often have a “Do Now” project which will be worked on while I am explaining the lesson or viewing assignments with the other strand at the beginning of the class. The next week the order will be switched. Do-now projects will be put into your sketchbook/journal and graded.

Grading: Individual grades will be given for projects and averaged together to make up 55% of your grade. Your sketchbook/journal and “Do Nows” and homework will count for another 25%. Your museum lesson plan will count for 5%, and class participation will count as 10%, to total 100%.

Supplies: Materials and supplies for this class are extensive but there is no overpriced textbook to buy! We will discuss how to approach buying the materials the first class, as some classes prefer to buy the supplies as a group. You must come prepared to work every week. Do not expect other students to supply you with materials and tools! I will let you know each week what you need to bring and I will also try to post it on our blog.
