ART 3021 - Visual Art in the Elementary School (3)

When Offered: Fall; Spring
A general orientation to visual art teaching/learning for the elementary level teacher. Students will study visual culture as it relates to children’s art-making and the larger world. The class offers a studio experience with ongoing sketchbook assignments. There is a practicum requirement outside of class time where students implement art education theories and methods in an actual teaching situation and perform a child study based on art education meaning-based pedagogy. Lecture two hours per week, studio two hours per week, plus observations and teaching experiences outside of class time are required.
(Note: Those pursuing a second concentration in visual arts should take ART 2420 instead of ART 3021.)
