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.

Course Objectives:
At the end of the course, students will:
Be comfortable with a variety of art materials and techniques
Understand how art lessons can drive academic learning
Be able to analyze their own work and the work of others
Have a broad understanding of art education concepts
Know what is age-appropriate for the various elementary grades
Have knowledge of the art elements, visual arts standards and principles of design

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, as there is no time.  You are responsible for the materials necessary to complete missed at home work. Three absences (excused or not) are grounds for a failing grade or automatic withdrawal.

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.

Leaving early without permission from the professor will be counted as a tardy.

Late work due to an unexcused absence will be lowered by a minimum of one grade. If you were ill, bring a doctor’s note to excuse the absence.

"Do-Nows": There will be occasional warm-up assignments given as a way to help you ready your ideas for the upcoming project. These will be graded as part of your sketchbook/journal overall grade.

Grading: Individual grades will be given for projects and averaged together to make up 50% of your grade.  Your written work and sketchbook/journal will count for 20%.  Your Museum Project and presentation will count as 20%, and class participation and attendance 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 have preferred to buy the supplies as a group.  You must come prepared to work every weekDo 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 post it on our blog.
