Art for Teachers of Children—AR271—Spring 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. There will also be occasional readings and discussions in class concerning art education, lesson and unit planning, classroom set-up and clean-up, classroom management and other current issues.
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 to the other strand at the beginning of the class. The next week the order will be switched. These 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, “Do Nows” and homework will count for another 25%. Your museum lesson plan will count for 5%, and class participation will count as 15%, to total 100%.
I will provide rubrics for you for each major assignment.
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.
