Educ. 477-4 Designs for Learning: Art
INTERSESSION 1982 ?
INSTRUCTOR: Chuck Chappell
Monday and Thursday, 1:00 - 4:50
?
LOCATION: on campus
Education 477 is a course which is concerned with developing an understanding of
the creative process, using the Visual Arts as the vehicle for expression.
Students will be involved with a number of class projects based on developing an
awareness and understanding of the art elements. I would hope, this practical
approach, coupled with an understanding of lesson preparation and evaluation
will enable the teacher to approach the instruction of the Visual Arts in a
confident manner. Experience in making art is not a pre-requisite for this
course.
Purposes of this course:
A.
Positive attitudes towards the Visual Arts as
p
art of the educational
spectrum.
B.
Personal confidence in self-expression.
C.

G.
