Every
child is an artist.
The
problem is how to
remain
an artist
once
he grows up.

| Ways
You Will Learn
|
To
work towards accomplishing these goals this course is designed, in part,
to reacquaint you with the pleasure and excitement of creating in a variety
of media. Through your participation in a number of "hands on" workshops
you will acquire new skills that will assist you in your efforts to incorporate
art activities into your classroom practice in individual and meaningful
ways.
Another aspect of the M333
class will be to prepare you to look at and talk about art with your elementary
students. This activity is important not only for learning about art, but
is a skill that can be integrated with other subjects such as social studies,
science, language arts, and math. In fact, in your field experience, you
will be required to teach an art lesson as part of a social studies
unit.
