ARTE 5111 | 6111: Saturday Art Field Experience Practicum, Fall 2018, Fall 2017, Fall 2015
This course is designed to prepare you to teach visual arts in a variety of educational and community settings through hands-on practice of planning, teaching, reflecting, and exhibiting. These experiences will help to develop your personal philosophy of teaching as you experience the transformative praxis of putting pedagogy into practice. Readings and activities are designed to support, supplement, and prepare you to think through your own art education experiences; develop flexible, effective, and engaging lesson blueprints, and cultivate your teaching practice through practical, real life implementation. Reflexivity (reflection) will be an important aspect to your teaching practice and therefore is an integral part of the class. Reflection within a community will manifest through class discussions, Blackboard assignments, and projects. In addition, this course is required in preparation for State of Ohio Teacher Licensure and will allow you to practice the Visual Arts EdTPA performance assessment.
Saturday Art Program
The Saturday Art Program is a community-centered Visual Art Education Program in which art inquiry is taught by undergraduate and graduate students preparing to obtain Visual Arts Education Licensure in the State of Ohio and is supervised by instructors of Visual Arts Education in the School of Art. Saturday Art takes place on 6 Saturday mornings during the Fall Semester for children and adolescents in grades K-12. During Saturday Art, students engage in exploration, inquiry and research, investigation of materials, themes, historical influences, contemporary art practices, and interpretation. Saturday Art integrates the act of making meaning with the world in which we live and embraces a diversity of ages, aptitudes, age-related developmental levels, and social cultural perspectives.
ARTE 5121 | 6021Field Experience : Applied Art, Culture, and Technology, Spring 2017
This course is a site of inquiry for students to investigate and develop pedagogical practices at the intersections of Art, Culture and Technology. We will explore the roots and theoretical underpinnings of the ‘maker’ movement, considering how it informs both art practice and pedagogy. We will consider cultural, social, economic, and ethical contexts as they touch the landscapes of emergent technologies. We will engage broadly and deeply in critical making and productive play with a variety of available technologies oriented (many oriented for young people) in order to develop pedagogical provocations, strategies, and tactics to permeate both Art and STEM plus [STEAM, STEM +Art and Design, i(nquiry)STEAM] curriculums.
ARTE 5121 | 6021Field Experience: Art | Education | Community Practice, Spring 2019
In this course students will critically engage with public sites of art education in civic contexts. Students will explore and engage with the porosity of art educational practices happening between schools, museums, archives, and non-profits. We will explore questions of publics, participation, aesthetics, and social imagination. Students will learn to activate these sites as venues for developing, supplementing, challenging, and complimenting pedagogy and curriculum for teaching art in educational and third site settings. Students will cultivate relationships with local institutions and experts, engage with critical readings, and develop a menu of art engagement practices that will be relevant and adaptable to their own teaching practices.
