5 Course Description Fine Arts Content & Methods is an introductory course highlighting the practical development of teaching Visual Arts and Music. The first half of this course concentrates on Music, while the second half focuses on Visual Arts. This syllabus details the value, role, and application of Visual Arts in the contemporary elementary classroom. Additionally, this course is designed to have the Visual Art-focused student-educator to develop abilities related to the teaching of Art in grades P – 5, and to encourage the student teacher’s curiosity and personal artistic potential in the area of Art. Student candidates are expected to demonstrate content, lesson plan and delivery of interpersonal skills related to Visual Arts. The course also structures appropriate models of instruction in motivation, procedure, exploration, exhibition and assessment as applied in the general classroom. Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to: • Provide a framework for helping student-educators learn the characteristics of Visual Arts content by utilizing a variety of subject matters, media, symbols, meaningful images, and visual expressions, to reflect ideas, critical thinking, express emotions, and promote radical creativity. (Rule #31 GaPSC) • Evaluate the merits of their efforts through addressing objectives from the Georgia Professional Standards that promote the acquisition of content and fluency in new ways of thinking critically, solving problems, communicating, reasoning, and investigating concepts. (Rule #28 GaPSC) • Train student interns in the correct usage of classroom technology and its benefits in the field of Visual Arts. (Rule #30 GaPSC) • Manage student acquisition of ideas, skills, observations, dilemmas, and challenges encountered in the classroom through the Visual Arts. (Rule #28 GaPSC) • Encourage students to relate the Visual Arts to nature and career planning. • Inspire student teachers to create aesthetically pleasing and success-oriented activities in their lesson plans. (Rule #31 GaPSC) • Improve the student intern’s ability to describe, interpret, and evaluate through various media of the Visual Arts verbally and artistically. Through these efforts, students begin to understand the meaning and impact of the Visual Arts in this multicultural environment in which we live. (Rule #28 GaPSC)
6 Justification for Four Hours of Course Credit This course integrates specific content area material with professional pedagogy to provide an in-depth experience for students/pre-service teachers. In addition to in-class activities, students will engage in field experience activities as an integral component of the teaching and learning process. This course is offered for three hours weekly. To receive the mandatory fourth credit, you must engage in an outside activity that fulfills the goals of the class - generally 15 additional hours of out-of-class paralleled assignments. Student Learning Objectives At the end of this course, student candidates should be able to: • Describe purposes and value of art in the lives of teachers, professional artists, the public, and children from ages 3-12. • Discuss and analyze philosophies, methodologies, and teaching styles in art education. (Rule #28 GaPSC) • Make the best decisions regarding media and skill teaching, emphasizing art learning as creative problem-solving, discipline-oriented, and technique driven. (Rule #28 GaPSC) • Observe and prepare art lessons and materials helpful in assessing the needs and interests of various-aged, cultural and physically diverse students. (Rule #31 GaPSC) • Participate in lesson planning, preparation, and delivery in a school setting, including discovery processes, behavioral objectives (for teacher and students), problem-solving experiences, and evaluative/assessment means. (Rule #28 GaPSC) • Connect the Visual Arts with other disciplines in the curriculum. • Identify the National Art Education Association Standards at P – 5 level. • Discuss the purposes of behavior management in the P - 5 art classroom. • Acknowledge the need for and the benefit of reflection and self-evaluation while completing classroom assignments and projects. (Rule #28 GaPSC) • Utilize the specific evaluative methods in assessing children’s artworks. (Rule #28 GaPSC) • Demonstrate leadership and problem-solving skills relating to classroom organization and management. (Rule #28 GaPSC) • Adapt classroom management according to differences in media, children’s development, and cultural and disability diversity. (Rule #31 GaPSC) • Practice the use and care of classroom technology as it applies to Visual Arts such as the document camera, letter-cutter, promethean board and projector, opaque projector and overhead projector. (Rule #30 GaPSC) • Create attractive bulletin boards for group-assessment and aesthetic appreciation. • Prepare five electronic teaching lesson plans that incorporate Visual Arts in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and Visual Arts. • Teach one lesson plan in the student teacher’s field school. • Prepare a portfolio of TEN (10) K- 5 art activities, along with letter-cutting samples.
7 Assessment of Learning Objectives Student progress is evaluated by, but not limited to, exams, written assignments, artrelated activities, and class participation. This syllabus is subject to change by the instructor. Textbook Requirements Emphasis Art: A Qualitative Art Program for Elementary and Middle Schools, Wachowiak & Clements, ISBN 0137145829 Spices for Teachers, Abdur-Rashid, ISBN 9798314349564 Georgia Visual Arts Standards: https://case.georgiastandards.org/ed489b90-9c0d-11e8- 872d1f5e8db2771f/ed489b90-9c0d-11e8-872d-1f5e8db2771f Methods of Instruction: SEDU 346 Fine Arts Content & Methods course will meet for three hours per week. The first half of the fall semester covers Music instruction; and the second half of the semester comprises Visual Arts instruction. In the Visual Arts section of the course, some portions of class time will be devoted to lectures, PowerPoints and discussions, while others will be devoted to hands-on experiences. The lectures consist of discussions on relevant chapters from the required class texts, supplemented by occasional book and journal reviews, gallery, and/ or group reports on issues in Visual Arts Education. SLL and Canvas, Spelman’s assessment instruments, along with bulletin boards and display cases will be utilized throughout the semester as a repository for observational reflections, lesson plan submissions, and showcasing art projects/activities. Early in the semester you should verify that your SLL account is functioning. Assistance may be obtained at the Student Technology Assistance Center (S.T.A.C.) in lower Manley. If you do not have an SLL account, notify S.T.A.C. immediately.
8 Attendance Students are expected to attend in-person classes. A student may request an excused absence from the Dean of Undergraduate Studies only if she has a valid reason (e.g., college-sponsored activities, personal illness, death in the family, military obligation, jury duty or subpoena, religious holiday). A student who seeks an excused absence must do so immediately (see College Excused Absence policy). A student who requests a medical excuse due to personal illness will be expected to seek medical attention from either Health Services or a private physician. Any student who fails to produce acceptable documentation for an absence will not be excused from class. Excuses must be presented to the instructor within seven (7) days of the absence, or they will not be accepted. Students are permitted only two (2) unexcused absences for the semester. Each student is required to be prompt and on time for each class meeting. Repeated tardiness in excess of three (3) incidents will equate to one (1) day absent from class. Students with more than the allocated unexcused absences will receive an entire reduction in a letter grade or may be dropped from the course at the discretion of the instructor. It is the responsibility of the student to make up all scheduled work missed due to officially excused class absences. Absences from announced tests and other assignments may be made up at the discretion of the instructor in the case of extenuating circumstances. • Students are considered late to class 5 minutes after class starts. • Babies/children are not permitted to attend class. • Service dogs are permitted to attend classes with permission from the Office of Disability Services at: (404) 270-5289 in MacVicar Hall. Disability Statement Spelman College is sensitive to the special needs of students with disabilities. Any student who feels she may need accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the Office of Disability Services privately to discuss her specific needs. Please contact the Office of Disability Services at: (404) 270-5289 in MacVicar Hall to provide reasonable accommodation. Disabilities should also be discussed with your instructors to provide any necessary accommodations. Late Assignments All assignments submitted late will result in a one-letter grade deduction, unless officially excused by the Program Chair, Dean of Undergraduate Studies Office, or with the provision of a valid excuse to the instructor. Academic Honesty At the heart of Spelman College’s mission is academic excellence, along with the development of intellectual, ethical and leadership qualities. These goals can only flourish in an institutional environment where every member of the college affirms honesty, trust, and mutual respect. All members of the academic community of Spelman College are expected to understand and
9 follow the basic standards of honesty and integrity, upholding commitments to high ethical standards. Students are expected to read and abide by the Spelman College Code of Conduct (see the current Spelman College Student Handbook) and are expected to behave as mature and responsible members of the Spelman College academic community. Students are expected to follow ethical standards in their personal conduct and in their behavior towards other members of the community. They are expected to observe basic honesty in their work, words, ideas and actions. Failure to do so is a violation of the Spelman College Academic Integrity Policy. Violators will be subject to the sanctions outlined in the Spelman College Bulletin. Plagiarism is the use of another person’s words or ideas without giving credit to the source. Students should cite sources accurately and completely whenever they borrow works or ideas, including Internet sources. Some students may feel that the ease of “block” and “copy” and “paste” commands translate into “fair use” of articles found on the Internet. These sources should be quoted accurately and cited accurately, as should print or audio-visual sources. The penalty for plagiarism or any other form of academic dishonesty is quite severe, including a grade of “F” in the course. Students with questions should seek more detailed information from their professor.
