Curriculum and Instruction in Visual Arts for Adolescence Education

Catalog description

(formerly ART 2010) The teacher candidate will study the developmental, socio-cultural, perceptual and cognitive changes that occur during adolescence with a view to how these transformations impact on artistic-aesthetic development. This course will couple the exploration of these theoretical strands with participation in hands-on art projects and processes that are appropriate for diverse (grades 7-12) middle school and high school students. Aesthetics, curriculum design, classroom management and diverse assessment practices will be examined. Integration of technology and the New York State Standards will be studied.
