Institution:

Fort Peck Community College

Subject:

Description:

3 credits The basic developmental theories and teaching strategies salient to teaching K-12 art courses will be discussed. General studio techniques and concepts will also be covered, and students will produce studio exercises relating to each media and concept. Students will teach an in-class sample lesson as a practicum. Additionally, field observation of a public school art class will be required. As a service-learning component students will submit a lesson plan and teach an age and theory appropriate art lesson within the community. The general theoretical approach for this component will be within John Dewey's concepts regarding service learning and art experience. Students will obtain a basic functional knowledge of the dominant theories in art education for younger children. Students will assess these theories for their main elements, and what the 121 respective advantages and disadvantages are for these theories. In studio exercises, students will obtain experience in basic media and techniques. In the classroom observations and their own teaching samples, students will be able to assess the practical parameters of art education theories. The service-learning component will assist students in comprehension of the social aspects of art. Spring.
