ART for the Elementary School Teacher Workshop
ART TEACHER on the NET workshop
November 12, 2007
4 week non-credit workshop
Art for the Elementary Teacher gives
practical tips, lesson plans,
and resources that make it easier to
achieve your goals.
Recommendations from past participants:
I have broadened my perspective on teaching, and gotten a lot of ideas on how to reach children. I would recommend the course to my coworkers. It would be good for further professional development.
| It has
been great to share ideas with others and gain new information that I
can use in my art classes. The websites are extremely helpful, and I am
glad to add those to my resources. I am looking forward to using the
format for looking at a work of art to encourage my students to really
look at a work of art in a whole new way. There are many questions to
choose from that will provide prompts for students when writing about
art. I like the ideas for integrating art with other content areas. This appeals to a variety of learning styles and strengthens skills students can use across the curriculum and throughout their lives. I plan to use the resources from this workshop to incorporate more lessons that connect to other subjects. I've enjoyed making some of the projects and will be able to use those as examples when I teach the lessons. I am especially excited about the ideas for planning a year of art. I like the thought of planning the whole year and knowing what objectives the students will be working toward. This will help when I order supplies and will help me coordinate the lessons with the different grade levels. I have thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you very much for this opportunity. I would recommend this course to classroom teachers, since they so often have the opportunity to add some hands on learning to the lesson. I would also recommend this class to art teachers as a review. Whether you are an experienced art teacher or have no prior art experience, this workshop is for you. No prior art experience is necessary. This is a workshop for public, private, and homeschool teachers-or anyone who works with children's groups and need art projects ideas and advice.
