Art for Teachers of Children—AR272--Spring
2013
Professor Julia Schmitt Healy
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. Often we will be sharing and grading work at
the beginning of class. 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.
Each
week there will be a brief discussion at the beginning of the class with both
sections on an educational topic. The information presented in these segments
will help you in designing your Museum Lesson Plan and make your creative work
more appropriate for the elementary classroom.
“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
50% of your grade. Your
sketchbook/journal and “Do Nows” and homework will count for another 25%. Your museum lesson plan will count for
15%, and class participation/preparation 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.
