ART 585 Methods and Concepts of Art Education
Explores curriculum planning, organization, instructional methods and management strategies for the art classroom, as well as current philosophies of art education. Candidates become competent in developing and executing a discipline-based Art Education lesson and unit plan. They also learn the preparation and effective use of resources and materials. Prospective art teachers engage in the observation of a secondary and/or elementary art classroom, at the same time that they gain practical experience through required practicum visits (25-30 hours). This course is aligned with professional standards of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).
