Building on content in VAE 320, this course concentrates on curriculum development, instructional models, and professional methods in art education. We will explore how ideas and materials are used in teaching art across PK-12 levels and in diverse settings. Students will create, adapt, and use appropriate resources, materials and technologies in standards-based curriculum. We will also investigate and analyze how art educators build and maintain successful art programs. By documenting curriculum, instructional materials, art content knowledge, and studio work in a teaching portfolio, students will demonstrate an understanding of the proficiencies required for art licensure and the professional involvement needed to sustain a career in the field. Field observations in the public schools and peer teaching in a laboratory setting will be required. Prerequisite: VAE 320 (C or higher), admission to the Visual Art Education Professional Sequence, or permission of the instructor.
