In this class, art education students are in the process of becoming teachers and search to find insight into the basic philosophical understanding of what may be termed an educational experience: who they are, what they do, and how they define themselves in the context of the teaching situation. Using this philosophical underpinning, students will investigate methods and materials appropriate to standards-based art education. Current practices in the instruction of studio art, art history, aesthetics, and criticism will be explored and applied through class activities. Students also apply these experiences to their service learning for the program, Bring Arts Integration to Youth (BRAINY), at Gregory Allicar Museum of Art (the university museum).
