Kelsey Pennington - Visual pedagogy project for M333 "Art Experiences for Elementary Generalists", Spring 2012 at Indiana University Bloomington. Instructor Hallie DeCatherine Jones.
2. Process
Researched Art and Content
Integration
Planned a lesson based on
Indiana content standards
Created a sample for use in the
classroom
3. Research
Marshall:
Depiction-Having students depict a subject
from observation. Allows students to see how
artists observe and record the world around
them.
Making connections across subjects enhances
learning. –Marshall
Goldburg
Art allows for the exploration of a subject in a
deep, meaningful way.
Students learn about, with, and through the
arts.
4. Research
Smith
Focuses on drawing, but can be applied to other art
forms
Observation-learning to look
Composition-placement of objects
Oreck:
Art allows students to explore and make discoveries.
Art should be a part of every subject, not something
separate.
6. Standards
1.6.1 Observe and describe that models, such as toys, are like the
real things in some ways but different in others.
2.1.5 Demonstrate the ability to work with a team but still reach
and communicate one’s own conclusions about findings.
2.1.7 Recognize and describe ways that some materials — such
as recycled paper, cans, and plastic jugs — can be used over
again.
2.6.2 Observe and explain that models may not be the same size,
may be missing some details, or may not be able to do all of the
same things as the real things.
3.6.3 Explain how a model of something is different from the
real thing but can be used to learn something about the real
thing.
7. Lesson Plan
Learn about models in class
Assignment to make a model
Create model and present it to class
Reflect on learning
16. Teaching Philosophy
Integrate art into other subjects
Visual response for visual learners
Allow students to respond in numerous ways
Allow students to develop their art skills
Expose students to multiple art forms
This lesson integrates science and art through the use of model building. Students will create a model to see how they are similar and different from the actual object.
Create a model to represent something in science that they are interested in, such as a volcano, the solar system, plate tectonics, a plant, a cell, or part of the human body
