Expressive Arts

Catalog description

This course considers the expressive arts - visual arts, drama, dance and movement, music, technology, media, physical education, and health and nutrition - in relation to the Indiana Academic Standards, the NSAE Standards and the content areas of language arts, math, science, and social studies. Developmentally appropriate practices in arts methods and materials are presented and discussed with an emphasis on process rather than product. Assignments may include writing and presenting integrated activity plans that are developmentally appropriate, designing an arts and content-related bulletin board, observing and interviewing a specials teacher, and attending an arts-related event.
