Critical Conversations: bridging pathways forward to greater understanding and creative solutions.

ADE-630 Media and Materials

3 Credits

This exploration of a central element in planning and implementing an art curriculum begins with the research and development of a series of related art projects. Particular literary works serve as subject matter for the projects and extensive experimentation with a variety of studio materials (photo-based media, computers, film and video) is encouraged. The role of technology in the making and teaching of art will also be examined, using interactive/graphics software to design a portfolio website. Through reading, writing, and discussion, issues such as age-appropriateness, teaching techniques and learning styles are also considered.
