    LOCATION: on campus
    This course is an introduction to teaching art to grades K - 12. The course
    will include seminars, discussions, and workshop activities. Through
    the use of imagery development exercises, and a variety of materials
    and techniques, participants will develop their own skills so that they
    may help to foster creativity and growth in school age children.
    The importance of the creative process to the development of the whole
    person will be examined, as well as the place and purpose of art
    within the school curriculum.
    The purpose of this course is "threefold":
    1.
    to familiarize the participant with the philosophy under-
    lying inclusion of creative art experiences for school-
    age children;
    2.
    to encourage the participant to believe in her/himself as an
    artist-educator;
    3.
    to reawaken the participant's sense of personal responsibility
    towards the arts - personal responsibility for assuring
    the continuity of this aspect of our culture.
    "Through the visual experiences of personal statements, humor and beauty,
    we will enrich our lives as well as the lives of our students. We
    will open eyes, and fill them with the will to see"
