3 credit hours

This course will introduce students to a variety of materials and methods appropriate for elementary and secondary classrooms, and will broaden available options and strategies for teaching art disciplines to children and young people at various stages of development. Education students will consider fundamental concepts important to various art disciplines (ceramics, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, etc.), discuss their essential qualities and limitations, and develop age-appropriate presentations, plans and activities. Students will also develop ways of adapting art to content areas across the curriculum and through the grades. They will consider the design of a safe, effective and well-organized classroom, plan necessary equipment, storage and display areas, and research resources for donated materials and purchased supplies.
