You will also be expected to provide some of your own materials. Attached is a schedule for the readings. Lectures and discussions will supplement these readings, serving to direct your focus to significant concepts and ideas related to creating and responding to art, the developmental stages of children's art and the divergent nature of art experiences. Attached is a schedule for completion of studio artwork. The studio component of this course is meant to provide you with experience in using materials for meaningful art making.
Lockers are available to store tools and materials.
Please bring a combination lock to share with someone. The narrative account is intended to help you clarify the meaning in your encounters with children, art and teaching and to encourage you to reflect upon concepts which otherwise might be overlooked. It is a vital part of this course and deserves your intensive energy and insightful intelligence. The narrative account should be 7-9 pages divided equally among description and educational meanings. You must take photographic slides of the child's art work.
