On demand. 3 semester hours. Following a discipline-based approach to art education and curriculum development, this course integrates art production, art history, criticism, and aesthetics. Students learn the elements of design and apply them using traditional and non-traditional techniques (e.g. computer-generated graphics), materials, and approaches. They also are immersed in art history, studying significant works of art in their historical context. Formal methods of art criticism and assessment and theories of aesthetics are studied and applied to their own, classmates', and historical art works. Additionally, students are apprised of opportunities in higher education and careers in art. Most importantly, students learn to apply these skills to their prospective students in an age-appropriate and safe manner. A variety of means is utilized in accomplishing these goals, including traditional classroom and library activities, computer technology, teaching a lesson in a public school, gallery/museum visits, guest speakers, and reaching the larger world via web-based information.
