    EDUCATION 477-4 Designs for Learning: Art
    INSTRUCTOR: R. Fransila
    SEMESTER: Spring, 1980
    Experiences to promote personal artistic development and professional competency
    will form the major focus of Education 477. The course is designed to help
    teachers to develop qualitative art programs at the classroom level. Although
    art instruction is open to all students, teachers with inadequate art foundations
    are not able to nurture the kind of sensitivity, knowledge, and interest in
    their pupils necessary for creative growth. A teacher who has an adequate
    art background and who has developed a personal style will have a stronger
    basis for developing a meaningful program and will be more apt to promote
    and justify their program in the school.
    Education 477 will focus on five areas considered vital for developing qualitative
    art programs:
    1)
    Studio experience in drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and fibres.
    Students will be required to carry the activities to completion
    at a mature level.
    2) A review of contemporary art education philosophy.
    3) Curriculum construction and instructional methods.
    4)
    Evaluation procedures.
