Art: Elementary School

April 28, 2010

Catalog Description

2 Credits. Basic methods for teaching art in the elementary school. The development of skills and creative behavior in children.

Course Connection to Conceptual Framework

As a reflective decision-maker, the student makes informed and ethical decisions and provides evidence of being a capable professional by developing and presenting lessons that demonstrate a respect for the developmental characteristics of young children. Students demonstrate the ability to create artwork and evaluate historical and cultural artwork using knowledge of art elements and principles of art and aesthetic theory.

Academic Service-Learning

Due to the nature of the course content and the required 10 hour experience, this course is designated as an “academic service-learning” course. The assistance you provide in the classroom to the teacher and students during your academic service learning experience is a service to the school community. The faculty, administrators, staff, and students all benefit from interaction with you as a pre-professional, just as much as you will benefit from the experience. In this course you will be reflecting on your academic service learning experience and the impact on the school community as well as your professional development. At the end of the semester, please complete the academic service-learning survey and submit your signed Academic Service-Learning Log to the Weppner Center for Civic Engagement & Service. Once the survey is completed and your hours recorded, you will receive a 10-hour academic service-learning notation on your transcript.

Academic Service-Learning is pedagogy; it integrates intentional ways of community service with instruction and reflection. It is designed to enrich the learning experience through hands-on activity and to teach civic responsibility. Academic service learning encourages students to apply what they learned in the classroom and to reflect on their experiences by thinking, discussing, and writing about them. It also teaches students to apply academic knowledge to real-life civic issues and promotes teamwork and collaborative problem-solving, develops life skills, exposes students to the complexity of the human experience and challenges simplistic solutions, and makes learning more personally meaningful (Cross, L. 2008).

Each student must clean up after studio work is finished; actively participate in activities; and complete all requirements in a professional, ethical, and timely manner. Projects and activities that are completed in class and for homework are evaluated in part on the amount of work involved and the care and concern with which they are done. Assignments are due on the given date. Late work will not receive full credit. One class day late results in a loss of 10 points.

This approach integrates art learning in art history, art criticism, aesthetics, and studio production with other disciplines.
