Pre-requisite: EDUC. 477-4
Description:
This course is intended for the student who has a basic compe-
tence in Art-making and who wishes to develop and refine basic skills.
It will include drawing, in a variety of media, print-making materials
and processes, clay and glazes, information on wheel and kiln-building,
weaving materials and looms. The course will include a film program.
Details:
The course has objectives which stem from the belief that the
teacher of Art must, operating as a student, acquire insights into a
variety of ways of seeing and engage in various modes of expression
in order to develop his or her own self-confidence, personal growth
and professional development.
As a student-teacher he or she will learn, and as an already
practicing teacher it will be known, that basic Art-making processes
such as drawing, painting, design and craft require practice,
development and refinement throughout the school year in a well-
designed program of studies. It is important then, that the teacher
develop to whatever level he or she is capable, not only a concern
for these basic methods, but too, an ability to work in these media
in order to better serve pupils. The course will present an opportu-
nity for such learning and the instruction given will keep in mind
the resources available to schools. Attention will be paid to the
relationship between the ideas and practices explored and the
intellectual, emotional, physical and social development of the
school student.
The course will be taught by four artist-teachers and will
meet on Monday and Wednesday from 11:30-2:20 p.m. and Friday from
10:30 a.m. - 12:20 p.m.
Content:
Drawing - one 2-hour session each week, Friday 10:30-12:20 p.m.
The foundation experience in the course and a constant through-
out the six weeks. Drawing will be explored as a means and as an end
and emphasis will be given to life drawing. Drawing is agruably the
most fundamental activity in Art and enrolling students should expect
to consider this in terms of their pupils' development.

Ceramics: ?
Weeks 1 and 2
The students will practice hand-built and wheel-thrown pottery
with design as an inevitable concern. Glaze recipes will be studied
and practiced and information and advice given on wheel and kiln-
building.
Weaving: ?
Weeks 3 and 4
The emphasis here will acknowledge the current revival of
this craft. Students will card, spin and dye wool, build simple looms
and study weaving techniques. Off-loom weaving will be considered
and natural dyes studied.
Printmaking: Weeks 5 and 6
The emphasis here will be not only on developing skill in the
processes, e.g. mono, block and screen printing, but too, on the
differing characteristics of each of these and on their potential
for unique kinds of image-making.
