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
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 post it on our blog.
