New Genres In The Art Classroom: Shifting Ideas And Identities, Alyssa Grant Ridge
New Genres In The Art Classroom: Shifting Ideas And Identities, Alyssa Grant Ridge
Theses and Dissertations
Secondary art education programs primarily offer courses in traditional mediums like drawing, painting, sculpture, and ceramics. In addition to valuing these traditional art forms, art education research supports integrating new technologies and media in the classroom. However, the possibilities of creating an exclusively contemporary, new genres curriculum have yet to be explored. This study examines the affordances and limitations of a high school-level new genre curriculum and describes how students reacted to these new genres and how their perceptions of art, student-peer relationships, and artist identities changed over time. By introducing students to new genres, the author found students expanded …

A Theory Of Presence: Bringing Students And Art Closer Together, Joshua T. Hobbs
A Theory Of Presence: Bringing Students And Art Closer Together, Joshua T. Hobbs
Theses and Dissertations
In seeking to create a richer learning environment in a junior high art classroom, the author develops a theory of presence. Closely connected to object-centered learning, a theory of presence in the art classroom places value on students being in the presence of, interacting with, and responding to artworks, artists, and other individuals and objects from the visual arts community. The author then describes how curricular plans are influenced by this theory of presence. Using an action research methodology, the author engages in the spiral process of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting on curriculum that explores the possibilities of connecting …
Curating The Abandoned School: Voices Of Youth In An Alternative High School Art Class, Kellie Marie Fay
Curating The Abandoned School: Voices Of Youth In An Alternative High School Art Class, Kellie Marie Fay
Theses and Dissertations
An art teacher at an alternative high school examines how self-study and narrative influence art making in the classroom. This teacher-researcher-artist uses a/r/tography to study more deeply her role in creating curriculum that deals with students' stories as a meaning-making device. The a/r/tographer identifies herself as a type of teacher-curator of student narratives and explores the nuances of her particular research site. As the researcher more closely examined her own identity as artist, teacher, and researcher, she came to understand that this research was largely a study of self. Specifically, she more closely scrutinized her struggle with the role of …

Each lesson is written to ensure that a teacher and/or a parent volunteer can give instruction without any prior knowledge of content and/or technique in art.The Appendices describe the curriculum and more …
