Education and Child Study 305 - TEACHING VISUAL ART IN CLASSRM

We live in a visual culture, and children are visual learners. The arts offer teachers a powerful means of making learning concrete, visible and exciting. In this class, students explore multiple teaching/learning strategies as they experience and analyze methods and materials for teaching visual arts and art appreciation. The class is for education majors seeking experience in and understanding of the visual arts. Studio work is part of each class. Since a practicum involving classroom teaching is required, this class works well for students who will be student teaching. Students who are not student teaching can expect to spend an additional hour each week working in a classroom. Admission by permission of the instructor.
