  11. VOCATIONS • An occupation that one is trained and qualified for • Children exposed to art may choose to work in photography, architecture, and computer graphics. • AESTHETIC AWARENESS • Beauty in nature and life • Spider webs and clouds • VISUAL LITERACY AND INTEGRATED LEARNING • Integrating art with academic learning provides children with a new outlook on a subject. It speaks to different intelligences in children. • A child who is great artistically can show his or her understanding of the subject through an art project.

  12. Looking at art from a teacher’s perspective • How long does it take for a child to create quality work? • Motivating and planning out a project can take 45 minutes (one class period) • Teachers need to understand this and allow children to take time in their artwork. • If time is tight… • Reduce the paper size

  13. Art in education • Art needs to play a bigger role in each child’s education • Incorporating art into academic subjects allow children to explore different modes of learning. • Art influences the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor objectives for learning. • Cognitive is the process of thought and learning. • Affective is the feeling and emotional process of learning • Psychomotor is the movement or activity completed.

  14. Key quotation • “Children learn to see more, sense more, and recall more---they become more aware of their changing and expanding environment” (7). • Through art, children learn to express their feelings. By expressing their personal feelings, they familiarize themselves with their environment, which allows them to open their minds and learn.

  15. Discussion questions • Do you believe art education helps students understand and process academic material? • In your different academic subjects, was art integrated into the lessons? If so, were they enjoyable? Did they help you understand and learn new material? • As future educators, how will you incorporate art into your classroom?

  16. Activity Time! • Use your imagination to transform your blank piece of paper into a work of art representing your culture and past. • After 15 minutes, we will each talk about our creation an why it is important to us.
