Imagination: Active In Teaching And Learning, Christopher Cunningham
Imagination: Active In Teaching And Learning, Christopher Cunningham
Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
This autoethnography tells the story of the author’s endeavor to examine my teaching during a sculpture lesson in three 2nd grade art classes in a mid-western suburban Title I elementary school. I analyze my planning, teaching, reflecting through the lens of Stuart Richmond’s Characteristics of Imaginative Teaching as well as noted educational theorists’ conceptions of imagination and imaginative teaching and learning. These theorists include but are not limited to Maxine Greene, Kieran Egan, John Dewey, and The Lincoln Center Institute’s Capacities for Imaginative Learning. I conclude that imaginative teaching is an intentional act and that there is no …
Classrooms As Creative Learning Communities: A Lived Curricular Expression, Soon Ye Hwang
Classrooms As Creative Learning Communities: A Lived Curricular Expression, Soon Ye Hwang
Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Creativity—the fundamental basis of human experience, expression, and learning in the communal world of the classroom—is the primary concern of this dissertation. While creativity is one of the buzzwords of 21st century education the world over, its lived understanding as fundamental to being human is understudied. This gap calls attention to the significances for all involved of entering into meaning making as creators. To explore the significances, I draw upon and give expression to my experiences of building such creative learning communities (CLC) in my own Multicultural Education (ME) classrooms as a teacher educator and curriculum theorist. Ways to …
A/R/Tography As A Guide For Curriculum Design, Michelle M. Hrbek
A/R/Tography As A Guide For Curriculum Design, Michelle M. Hrbek
Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
A/r/tography is not a method for curriculum development. Rather curriculum designers who see themselves as artist, researcher, and teacher best serve their students by creating lessons and units that encourage the learners to discover the a/r/tographer in themselves. Students who research themes presented in the visual arts classroom, create images that build on their personal experiences and communicate their individual perspective, and then teach others about their process are more likely to have relevant visual arts experiences. This paper explains the idea of a/r/tography and shows how a/r/tography as an overarching guide can inform curriculum whereby student artists construct meaningful …
Visual Literacy (Grade 9-12): Art Today -- Course Description And Outline, Kelli P. Dornbos
Visual Literacy (Grade 9-12): Art Today -- Course Description And Outline, Kelli P. Dornbos
Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Process is hugely contrasting among all artists around the world. Each artist has their own way of developing a way of thinking, seeing and making to reach their need to get something out (or in simpler terms, create art). In this middle school art class, students will explore the different mediums of art with strict guidelines of craft and technique but freedom in the subject of what they can create on their own. It is important for 6th grade students to cooperate with each other to solve problems and create an identity through their own art making process. Dewey explains …
Artist/Teacher: Toward A More Creative Curriculum, Matthew L. Auch Moedy
Artist/Teacher: Toward A More Creative Curriculum, Matthew L. Auch Moedy
Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
This thesis investigates the formation of my teaching identity. It seeks language for why I orient my teaching toward artistic thinking in my preparation and content. Features of artistic thinking discussed include students have personal interests, teachers need to expose and build on what students bring to class, artistic thinking is not linear and creativity invites the unexpected, play and creativity require both time and space and are best accomplished through situated freedom, process ought not be separated from product, making process visible and valuing process will make a positive difference in a student’s future. Vignettes from my teaching experiences …
