Applied Behavior Analysis In The Secondary Art Classroom, Linda S. Stewart
Applied Behavior Analysis In The Secondary Art Classroom, Linda S. Stewart
Masters Theses
Special needs students in the secondary art classroom can be difficult to reach. Students with special needs are required by law to be provided with a fair and appropriate education. The challenge for art educators is to adequately meet the needs of all students in the classroom. This paper examines a brief history of education for students with special needs, behavior management in the classroom, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, the token system, and the value of a structured classroom environment. ABA therapy techniques in the secondary art classroom provide a tool in the classroom management aspect of providing structure …

English Language Learners And Cultural Responsivity In The Art Classroom, Jessica Wycoff
Masters Theses
English Language Learners are a heterogeneous population of students that face social, emotional, and academic obstacles as they assimilate into a new culture while learning new subjects in a new language. In this study, I discuss the educational, social, and emotional needs of English Language Learners (ELLs) in PK-12 education and offer strategies to support kindergartener’s social and cultural identity while improving their language and academic skills in the unique environment of the art classroom.
New Old: Artmaking And Storytelling With Older Adults, Aisha Jandosova
New Old: Artmaking And Storytelling With Older Adults, Aisha Jandosova
Masters Theses
This thesis documents my journey in designing and facilitating a series of artmaking and storytelling workshops for older adults, grounded in a positive view of aging. Building on Tockwotton Makes, a series of 40 artmaking sessions conducted over a period of two years, I envisioned and hosted a new project called Her Story Press, which consisted of 7 sessions of artmaking and storytelling workshops. This thesis collects stories and lessons from both of these programs, which took place at Tockwotton on the Waterfront, an assisted living community in Providence, Rhode Island. Additionally, it includes references to some bold and important …
Encouraging Creative Behavior Through Art Education, Elaine Li
Encouraging Creative Behavior Through Art Education, Elaine Li
Masters Theses
In this thesis, I discuss different strategies that encourage creative behavior through high school art education that I argue would have benefits beyond the limits of art. By examining theories around creativity and creative behavior through particular published sources including Ken Robinson’s (2011) Learning to be Creative, Theories of Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (2008), and the Handbook of Creativity by Robert J. Sternberg (1999), I analyze how creativity functions on a psychological level. Additionally, in order to provide practical examples, I examine a number of art programs designed specifically for high school students where the focus is on the development …
An Exploration Of Multisensory Practices And Its Value In K-12 Art Education, Melissa St Pierre
An Exploration Of Multisensory Practices And Its Value In K-12 Art Education, Melissa St Pierre
Masters Theses
In the past few decades, it has been established that the dominant model of art education focuses on a reductive and rigid approach to building knowledge, enforcing conformity of the mind and often dulling curiosity. Making sense of these limitations, the current study delves in an exploration of multisensory practices, an approach that might result in considering options for redesigning the system to support positive change. To do so, my methodology includes a literature review and a case study I conducted with high school students in the 10th grade. The review pertaining to the science and theory behind human senses, …
Artist-Facilitator : Making Knowledge By Making Art, Aaron Broadbent
Artist-Facilitator : Making Knowledge By Making Art, Aaron Broadbent
Masters Theses
This thesis identifies what I view as detrimental effects of confining fine art concepts to their capacity for performance and communication, and illustrates my own attempt to apply artmaking processes to a role outside of the Art World, one which I call the Artist-Facilitator.
In my experience, instead of meaning that artmaking is useful for multisensory learning or multimedia research, this individual actually means that the goal of artmaking is the production of performances and art objects. A common perception holds that artists and their fine art populate the “Art World” and all those things categorized as Design pertain to …
Art For All: An Inclusive Curriculum For A Secondary Art Room, Michelle Ann Fuller
Art For All: An Inclusive Curriculum For A Secondary Art Room, Michelle Ann Fuller
Masters Theses
Art classrooms in a secondary public school tend to be a place where students feel inspired to be creative, improve social skills and self-esteem. But what about those who have a learning disability? If the art educator establishes a positive and safe learning environment, all students, including those requiring adaptations can create meaningful work. Do art teachers feel prepared to guide students who require extra attention? How can pre-service teachers enter the profession feeling more qualified instructing these students? This thesis explores the support of inclusion in the high school art room by defining what an ideal collaboration might look …
Creating A Transformative Visual Art Curriculum, Alison M. Marchbanks
Creating A Transformative Visual Art Curriculum, Alison M. Marchbanks
Masters Theses
This thesis explores the process of creating transformative learning experiences within a visual art curriculum that emphasizes individual reflection, creative expression, and community involvement. The strategies and philosophies discussed will facilitate student engagement with big ideas and complex messages that will inform their social consciousness beyond their formal school career. Examples of how these practices are being used in K-12 visual art settings are presented to provide an in-depth roadmap for implementing a community-based, social justice learning opportunity.
Incorporating Fine Arts Into Online Education, Tosha Tessen Mcdonald
Incorporating Fine Arts Into Online Education, Tosha Tessen Mcdonald
Masters Theses
Art Education has seen many changes. One of the most recent changes in art education has been the step into online learning. The question I sought to answer was whether or not art education could be delivered in the same rigorous manner online as it can be in a traditional school setting. During the 2019 - 2020 school year, I started a position teaching for the Rural Virtual Academy, in which all instruction was delivered online. During my own practice, I researched methods to instruct students virtually. My results indicate that it is quite possible to deliver a rigorous curriculum …

The Influence Of Environment: A Holistic Approach To Middle And Secondary Art Room Design, Leslie Y. Roberts
Masters Theses
This thesis takes an in-depth look at the elements within the classroom and how they affect students physiological and psychological needs and the impact those elements have on students’ academic success. I offer suggestions based on the research for changes that can be made to your current environment to increase students’ academic success. Additionally, through years of experience and additional research on classroom environments within this thesis I have created a floor plan for an ideal middle and high school art wing. This thesis also covers several different approaches to teaching, and I have used this information plus my experience …
