NOTE:I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THIS SYLLABUS AS NEEDED, AND WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU FAIR WARNING IF I DO SO.
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.
Note: I have changed several assignments for this semester .We won't use acrylic paint (too expensive for you to buy all the colors you'd need) and I have changed the printmaking work so you won't have to buy $20 brayers and special inks. Also, we will not use regular clay for our sculpture strand, since we can't fire it in the kiln.
I have added weekly assignments to do in your sketchbook/journal, and they are going to be counted as 25% of your grade.
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: Be in the Zoom at the appointed times. If we make a private Zoom appointment, be sure attend, as well. If you have problems, laert me ahead of time.
Grading: Individual grades will be given for projects and averaged together to make up 65% of your grade. Your sketchbook/journal will count for 25% and attendance and participation at online meetings will count as 10% to total 100%. NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO MUSEUM TRIP OR PAPER.

TOOLS & SUPPLIES
It is expected that everyone will have the following at home:
•Internet and a computer, iPad or phone for Zooming and a black and white printer
•regular pencil, 2B or 3B or 4B
•white eraser
•good, sharp, small scissors
•clear tape
•masking tape
•white glue (not School Glue); Elmer's Glue-all is best
•stapler and staples
•white computer, printer or copier paper
•newspaper
For a $48 charge, I will send you the following items, which you can keep. Note that the postage alone is $21.50, so you will get all these supplies for what is actually $32.50. The actual value of each box is $59.50, since Crayola sent me some supplies when I won New York City Art Teacher of the Year in 2020.
TRULY, do not try to buy these on your own. My experience is students end up buying the wrong things and spending much, much more money in the end.

- ï1-sketchbook
